I've got nothin' but love for...me?

It's Valentine's Day.  It's the one day of the year that makes people a little sappier (or a little more depressed), causes chaos at the restaurants, drives up prices of roses and makes good-intentioned people over-indulge on chocolate.  It's a day to remind your significant other that you care, but as so many people have posted to Facebook, why do you need Valentine's Day to tell someone you love them?  Shouldn't we be practicing the art of "showing" every day?

Here's my challenge: show yourself some love today.  I'm not telling you to return the chocolates or throw out the flowers, or cancel your dinner reservations.  I'm simply suggesting to be good to yourself.  Get your workout in before dinner, choose a light yet flavorful option from the menu, have a glass of water with your wine, and savor one chocolate from the heart-shaped box instead of a handful.  Don't forget the goals you have set for yourself, and stay true to them.  Loving yourself today will keep you from hating yourself tomorrow.  And after Valentine's Day has come to a close, refer back to the last sentence of paragraph one: shouldn't we be practicing the art of "showing" everyday?  That counts for yourself too.
