Teri Hatcher's Commendable Advice: Have Sex and Eat Chocolate

In the October issue of Glamour, Teri Hatcher provides wise tips and wisdom to her 10-year-old daughter and the general public of Britain.

"Have great sex [and] eat the chocolate," the single mother says to her daughter, Emerson.

Other tips in her column include, "Don't sit on public toilet seats and make sure to floss. . . . Life's too short to stress; you'll be able to get past anything difficult; the sun will rise tomorrow; you are beautiful; you are lovable."

The self described "43-year-old somewhat successful but still flawed and fragile woman," confesses to using self help materials. Hatcher uses a goal board in which she adds something new to it every night.

"It's basically a collage of images of things you want to achieve in your life - all written, glued or drawn onto a big piece of paper," said Hatcher.

Some of the entries on her board include "dance like a teenager" and "don't eat after 7 p.m."

"Against all my well-honed cynical beliefs, it's actually working," Hatcher proclaimed.
