It’s International No-Diet Day!

And there’s a ribbon for it! 

In celebration, check out:

• The Top 10 Reasons to Give Up Dieting.
• The Rotund on why you should go ahead and put on a bathing suit, especially if cabana boys are involved.
• fat fu on why you should like Gina Kolata and gettin’ caught in the rain. (And Stephen Colbert for making that joke way better.)
• Big Fat Deal on an Old Navy employee who’s cruisin’ for a Doocin’.
• Sandy Szwarc on employer-mandated dieting–er, “wellness programs.”

But first, drop by Elastic Waist to get the soundtrack.

Happy normal eating!
