- Amidst Reports of Britain's Alarming Rise in Obesity Rates, a Major UK Pharmacy Chain has Teamed up With Australia's Leading Slimming Brand in a bid to Help Britain Battle the Bulge

Already hugely successful in Australia, Celebrity Slim's meal-replacement programme has just been launched in the UK, and represents a healthy, convenient, and tasty way to lose weight fast.

This product launch has come at a time in which obesity rates have soared since the turn of the century and could lead to as many as 13 million adults - one in three - being classed as obese by 2012, scientists from University College London (UCL) estimate.

It seems obvious, right?   If you are around people who don't think much of you, over time you are more inclined to think less of yourself.  That's self esteem.

Looking at yourself in the mirror every morning, you never think to question whether the person you see is actually you but our interaction with others impacts that also, claims a PLoS ONE study by Dr Manos Tsakiris in Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London.   He challenges this common-sense notion about our own self image and  says that the image we hold of our own face can actually change through shared experiences with other people's faces.
