On the train this morning, I noticed an ad (for some diet program) which had the tagline "Be envied".

My reaction was "I don't want to be envied. I want to be healthy as well as beautiful." Meaning I am beautiful, and any exercise program, or choices of foods, will be for health. And I don't want to be envied, because that's a brand of dislike.

Very well said. I loathe advertising that encourages women to resent and distrust one another.

I am beautiful
You certainly are, Redbird. You look especially cute in this icon you have used here, if I may say so. I also like the way you look at this. There is too much appeal to our negative stuff in life.
