On tonight\'s show\\xa0Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about women and their body image issues from author Leslie Goldman. She wrote the book "Locker Room Diaries: The Naked Truth about Women, Body Image and Re-Imagining the "Perfect" Body." She was recently a guest on the Today Show and her book has been featured in
People Magazine. Leslie is a health and medical writer for the American Medical Association and a regular contributor for the Chicago Tribune,\\xa0 Health, Marie Claire, Redbook and Self. Some of her stories from the women\'s locker room were funny and some were a little disturbing. She told us about 14 year old girls getting bikini waxes because a character on the O.C. was getting one. I don\'t know what\'s scarier the kid wanting one or the parent taking her to get one. Please go to Leslie\'s website www.LRDiaries.com and learn more about this eye opening book. In her book and on our radio show Leslie also shares\\xa0her tips to help young women feel better about their bodies.\\xa0\\xa0If you are a parent of a teenage daughter I highly recommend this book and website.

She has been able to take what she learned playing golf at the highest level and transfer some of the lessons in order to help businesses grow and realize their fullest potential. Diane\'s website is www.realizedpotentialinc.com and it is filled with info about her as well as tips and other good stuff.

Once again SuperCop Sean visited. Tonight\'s Sean\\xa0highlight occured when he tried to explain the benfits of carrying pepper spray while you jog. Just make sure that any wind is blowing on the\\xa0bad guy when you spray him.\\xa0

The Doctor also shared his\\xa0tips on how to get out of an exercise slump and get\\xa0 back on your program again. I think these were his best tips in a long time.\\xa0He said to start right away - don\'t put off exercising until that infamous Monday morning - start right this minute - or when you\'re done reading this blog entry.\\xa0He gave several other tips including watching "Rocky" which is his favorite movie but\\xa0you\'ll have to listen to get the rest of the tips.

The fat guy shared a story about going to the dermatologist to get a lesion removed from his face. The doctor and Super Cop Sean made sure to tease the fat guy about the thing on his face. The doctor had some story about Alabama that really didn\'t interest anyone in the studio and he seems to be the only person who didn\'t think the movie "Talladega Nights" was funny.\\xa0
