At least once a day, most of us have at least one “I hate my body” moment. Men and women of all shapes and sizes frequently have a negative dialogue about not being “good enough” when it comes to their own body. Women average nearly one negative self comment about their shape or size every waking hour. The range, however, can extend to 10 disparaging thoughts per hour.
We are bullying ourselves constantly. Traditionally, most concerns about body image has been spent on girls. Current health professionals and research demonstrates that although boys are less likely to talk about their body insecurities, they still experience high levels of anxiety and fear.

Grills should be inspected to ensure there is no buildup of grease or spider webs that inhibit the flow of gas to the controls. Ensure rodents have not made a nest in the area of the hoses and controls over the winter. This can cause propane to leak and ignite when the grill is ignited.
