Happy Valentine's Day!

Whether single or in a relationship, Valentine's Day and every day is the right day to love yourself.

Spreading the love does not stop there. Developing a healthier body image for women and girls takes both creative proactive and counter actions as well as consumer education. Here are some additional ways to take back control of what makes us feel healthy and comfortable with our bodies based on our own terms - not the unrealistic images promoted by advertisers and the mass media.
