We did setting goals today with me-smart and I was amazed by how many of the girls had the aim to 'lose weight'.

So when I saw this video earlier I decided that in the coming weeks and months we're going to keep revisiting these ideas, and I want the kids (especially the girls) to try and understand the difference between health living, and 'looking good'. I did have a link to a promotional website for a company that did photoshopping of photos of models and there was a 'before' and 'after' section. That part of their site is down at the moment, and some of the images are one's I'm not completely comfortable abut showing to a room full of 12 year olds, but the Dove campaign for real beauty site (where the video clip originated) has some great resources (and other pretty scary videos clips) on it.
