Today's daily task, I'll admit, I wasn't able to do. I didn't get the e-mail until 11:18 PM when I walked in the door, but I did my own thing that was along the same lines. Here's what the task was:
Daily Challenge - October 20, 2010 What is your favorite clothing store?
Take a Friends Don't Let Friends Fat Talk cling, or a copy of our cling decal downloaded from the Facebook page, to the store and leave it in a dressing room for someone else to find.
We all have moments of insecurity, and trying on clothes can perpetuate that for some women. Spread the message to end fat talk with a friend you may never meet just by letting her know she's not alone!
I didn't get to go shopping. I didn't get to print out a picture of the FTFW logo. BUT, I did get to spread the FTFW message around my office! I work at an office entirely composed of women, so you can imagine what that atmosphere can breed in terms of conversation and body image. Instead of contributing to the conversation when people announced out of the blue that they needed to go on a diet or that they needed to go shopping because their clothes aren't fitting properly anymore, I'd change the subject and announce that I'm not allowing anyone to continue talking about themselves like that anymore.
I was expecting a bit of backlash--even if just in jest--but I got none! See what happens when you stand up for women everywhere? It's a great opportunity to change someone's view of herself, and also to gain respect for yourself and for how people everywhere are perceived. Try it out tomorrow, see where it gets you!
