Feel the Freedom

I went through my blog history and discovered several blog ideas from 2003, when I first started posting. I jotted down the ideas, but never fleshed them out, so I though it would be fun to share some of them this week. I'm posting the original idea, fleshing it out a little or updating the information where possible, and providing a link to any post that I eventually did make on the topic if I can find it. So, here goes:

From October 16, 2003: Feel The Freedom
Eighty-five percent of American women are wearing the wrong bra. Not only is this uncomfortable, but an ill-fitting bra and constrictive clothing will interrupt lymphatic flow affecting the immune system and general health of the lymphatic system. So, loosen up and go get sized for the right bra at your local department store.

Other problems: Wearing the wrong bra size not only looks bad but it can also lead to neck, shoulder, middle and low back pain, as well as trapped nerves in the neck, not to mention sagging breasts. Oprah Winfrey's site has tips for a better fit and common misperceptions that lead women to wear the wrong bra.

I did eventually post a blog about this topic on November 30, 2003. I also received quite a bit of strange spam for several months following that post.
