Both the visuals as well as the endless " advice " saturate the magazine and the

reader. It was very disturbing to subscribe to a magazine out of wanting

exercise tips or a recipe and feel the whole thing revolved around an endless

diet advertisement. Glad you can relate! Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I love your idea about putting that money towards

savings....as part of our self-care....either for financial stability...or

self-care in later purchasing something that is helpful! I am relived to have

purged them...and yes, the word " purge " seemed apt in this case! LOL!

the checkout counter. They always have some hot new diet on the cover, " Lose X

pounds by whatever holiday is upcoming!!! New diet is all the rage in Europe or

California! " In one particular magazine I don't have to search for the article,

I know it's always on about page 18 or 20. And you know what?? Whatever fruit,

enzyme, vitamin, soup, etc., is supposed to be the magic key to the diet's

success, the rest of it is always 3 commonsense meals and 2 snacks.
