Operation Beautiful

I cannot tell you how excited and touched I was by Operation Beautiful over at Healthy Tipping Point. I thought participating in it would be so much fun and I knew just the place I wanted to leave my mark too…

‘member when I was ranting about that awful scale that sits outside GNC at the mall and how it hollars at you, “Have you checked your weight today?” ??

I couldn’t help but inconspicuously sit at a nearby bench to see who would notice the note:

Then I was all high on my “badassness” (because yes, doing a good deed like this made me feel like a badass for some reason), so I decided to continue on to the bathroom at the mall:

Methinks Halifax may be seeing a lot more where these came from ;-)

Thanks Caitlin for linking me on the site :-)
