I was wrong to address the article primarily toward women, because men can be equally guilty of failing to care for themselves. I also realize that one cannot simply look at another person and make an accurate judgment on how well that person cares for him- or herself. Nevertheless, the overall message of this blog remains: “Figure out your personal health and appearance standard, then work toward it.” Please bear that in mind as you read the following.
