It's just a matter of fact that the pages of our magazines are filled with retouched photos of celebrities and models. Too bad, really. Even if we logically know that Jessica Alba's impossibly skinny waist is a result of Photoshop magic, it makes it difficult to look at pictures of ourselves and not wish for something a little different. So it made me wonder ... if you could have any body part airbrushed in your photos, what would it be? Here's how you responded:

• Removing a double chin is what 2.5 percent of you wished for.
• A smaller butt got 12.5 percent of your vote.
• Thinner thighs were on 25 percent of your wish lists.
• A better stomach is what a whopping 47.5 percent of you would like.
• And 12.5% of you like yourself just the way you are.

I understand the wish for improved features. If the gorgeous Jessica Alba can be improved, I guess we all have room for improvement. But I can't help but wish that more that 12.5 percent had voted for not being retouched at all.

I learned a little lesson last night and I'd like to share it. My son and I were discussing my sisters and I mentioned that my sister Leigh and I look the most alike. I said that Leigh has a smaller nose and nicer smile, though. My son said "Mom, you should never say that. Just tell yourself you have a beautiful smile, because you do."

He's 11-years-old and he understands the importance of accepting yourself and loving yourself for who you are. I know he reminded me how important that is ... maybe that little bit of pre-teen wisdom will remind you, too.
