Does anyone else find that while sitting at their desk, or doing whatever you do all day that you have really bad posture? This is very random- but I wanted to make everyone think about it. I am usually slouching big time- but I adjusted my chair so it is much eaiser to be sitting straight. It still kinda strains my back muscles- but I think it will help overall health...just a thought ;)

I was even slouching reading this and unconsciously I just straightened up LOL.. plus a good posture makes you look slimmer.. bonus!

Guilty here too. Thanks for the reminder. My mom always insisted that standing up straight and tucking in your tummy makes you look 10 pounds lighter. I don't know if that's the case, but it sure makes you appear more confident--maybe even taller. (My mom is 5'1" and 110 pounds so as you might guess our body issues are really different from each other.) Stand tall, Kelli! Annie
