Would you sign a Body Peace Treaty?

I always love coming across certain projects that promote a positive self image for young females. Seventeen Magazine recently created the Body Peace Treaty for women of all ages and sizes to sign so they will become more accepting of their bodies.

The pledge consists of 12 promises for women to keep in order to remain positive about food and weight. While it does not discourage eating well or keeping your body fit, it reinforces the idea that all women are not created equally and more importantly no one has a perfect body. So instead of stressing out about the way you look, be at peace with your body and make a commitment to love it the way it is!

Here are three of my favorite promises:

• Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how I feel about my appearance.
• Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks -- even if it seems harmless -- because I'd never want anyone to do that to me.
• Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads -- it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that.
