    Today's Health/Exercise Tip:
    Eat Less But Stay Satisfied
     
    Eating less is the key to losing weight, but that doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself of the food your body needs to make it through the day. You just have to learn to be satisfied with less food.

    Instead of chowing down mindlessly at your next meal, take a moment to remember that your food comes from the richness of the earth, not from a Styrofoam package in a fluorescent-lit grocery store. You just might develop a growing appreciation for the food you eat. Think of yourself as a living, breathing being who needs nourishment to survive. If you do this, you won't really have to worry about cutting calories at all because it will happen naturally.

    The next time you sit down for a meal, start by eating a piece of fruit (which incidentally will help you to fill up and eat less). Close your eyes while you chew, and picture the fruit ripening on a tree branch in the middle of a lush orchard with the sun shining and birds flying through the air. Or, if you're eating a mango or banana, imagine you're surrounded by tropical flowers, towering palm trees and frolicking monkeys.

    Having cereal for breakfast? Think of honey-colored wheat stalks blowing gently in the breeze. Though you may feel silly at first, don't worry. No one's watching! By taking time to listen to your body and truly appreciate the food you put in your mouth, you'll feel more satisfied with less food, learn to appreciate the bounty of the earth and help avoid emotional eating.

    Washington U. drops partnership with Target over anti-gay donation

    Bulls-eye remains on Target following its $150,000 donation to fund anti-gay politics

    St. Louis, Missouri --- Washington University has cancelled a back to school shopping event with Target because the retailer's controversial donation to fund anti-gay politics could make LGBT students feel unwelcome.

    "Student Life", the university's student newspaper, reports W.U. administration opted to cancel the Target After-Hours Shopping Event, a nationwide program where Target keeps various stores open after hours and provides transportation to college freshmen to shop.

    "We need to walk the walk as well as talk the talk," Jill Carnaghi, the university's associate vice chancellor for student affairs, told the student newspaper.

    Washington University is one of 19 college campuses to receive the highest ranking from Campus Pride,
    an LGBT advocacy group, for having gay-friendly policies and programs. 

    Target remains under fire from LGBT advocacy groups following its $150,000 donation to a right-wing political action committee (PAC) known as Minnesota Forward, which in turn bought television ads for Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. 

    Emmer is seen as a social conservative and opposes same-sex marriage.

    Despite protests and meetings with HRC, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, Target has said it would take no corrective actions to repair the harm caused by the contribution. 

    A Facebook group urging people to boycott Target currently has over 70,000 fans.

    Best Buy also gave $100,000 to the same right-wing PAC.

    Remember:  Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. The Formal Boycott began this past weekend. I stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall.  I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time!   Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's is the right thing to do.   Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being.   They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp.  Therefore, goodbye Target and Best Buy!  The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions!  What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
