Tomorrow, Oct. 21, is Love Your Body Day, sponsored by the National Organization for Women (NOW) Foundation. On this day, NOW wants us all to fight back against images in the media that make us feel bad about our bodies. Instead, we should demand images of real people, of all shapes, colors and ages. And to celebrate our bodies, NOW suggests activities like indulgence parties (a night to wear sweats and eat decadent food without guilt), staging “real women” beauty pageants and watching movies with strong female characters.

Now, I love to watch “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” as much as the next person, but I wish some of NOW’s tips were a bit more practical for actually improving body image. For example, this page suggests canceling magazine subscriptions as soon as offensive ads are run and boycotting shoe manufacturers that dare to make high heels that ruin our feet. For most people, these tips aren’t realistic.
