Sexier in 90 days??

How stupid. That's an actual infomercial. There's probably loads of them out there like this, I don't know, I don't pay attention, but this really irritated me.

Here- I can tell you how to be sexier in 90 SECONDS, how's that? Got a minute and a half? Pick a few of these and there you go:

1. Smile when you catch someone looking at you.
1A. Smile anyway. Notice how much better looking the people who are smiling are???
2. Stop apologizing for everything and anything.
3. Buck the rules. Any rule, right now. Pick one, and say screw it. You'll glow a little and BAM! Sexy.
4. Put your hair up.
5. Or take your hair down.
6. Throw on a little lip color and some ear rings and walk like you MEAN IT.
7. Something funny? Let em hear you laugh.
8. Have a little self confidence. Don't feel it? Pretend you do.
9. Learn how to take a compliment.
10. Learn how to give them.
11. Learn how to listen, sincerely.
12. Learn how to make other people shine.
13. Sing. Loudly. Offkey. Whatever. Anyone who sings out loud has *it*.
14. Realize that the people around you probably know something you don't. Find out what it is. Learn something.
15. Realize we're all connected and you can find out how, if only you'll engage and find out. Engage!
16. Shit or get off the pot! Complaining about the same thing over and over and over is NOT sexy. Busting a move is.


Who the hell needs 90 days? Being sexy isn't about exercising MORE or losing MORE weight or looking a particular way. It isn't what you eat. UGH. We're raising kids in a society that screws everything up! Boys see the pretty airbrushed girls in magazines, on TV, in porn, and girls see em too, and soon WE are not good enough anymore, just how we are. And God help us if we have children. Sexy isn't a size 4, 110 pounds. Or even 120 pounds. It's not a number, dammit!

And just for emphasis, I'll tell you that I don't own a scale. I feel good about me just about all the time. But I've been running for weeks now. I see some changes, but I get frustrated because when I put on my freshly washed jeans I am still squatting and stretching and whatevs to get them "comfy". My sister in law got on weight watchers and lost 3.4 pounds in 1 week. UGH.
But it's NOT ABOUT THAT. It's so easy to get sucked in.

Tonight, I'm going out with half of my kids and my husband, to see RV's and I am going to be fab, because I am fab. Right now. In sweatshirt and jeans, with my hair all over the place. Because I am so excited to be there, people will want to talk to me. And because I want to learn, I'll want to talk to people, and I'll notice that they are fab too. Sexy isn't in 15 more pounds or 2 sizes smaller, it's right this second. <----that was a note to self, by the way. Flip the switch on already!
