I think there's a false notion being perpetuated by the media that thin = healthy. I know many thin women and men that are ridiculously out of shape. And I know some people who would probably be considered overweight, that are in pretty good shape - they eat decent, work out regularly, etc. but because of their body type, have a hard time shedding pounds. What are your opinions?
Skinny does not = healthy

skinny does not = healthy
I agree completely because you see a lot of girls that are thin and they do look good. But I guarantee you that they aren't okay with themselves, they just want to get skinnier which isn't healthly. As long, as you eat correctly and ENOUGH you should be fine with yourself and not worry about your peer's opinions.
i agree but for me i am
i agree but for me i am skinny but can't help it. it sometimes seems like any thin girl you find everyone just assumes she's not healthy. i am also not saying heavy people are unhealty either cause that can be natural too. it's only unhealthy when you are not active or don't eat right.
skinny
yeah I'm sort of skinny too and I get tired walking up too many stairs
I'm so out of shape but I'm trying to eat healthier and exercise more
weight
I do agree. I am skinny, I won't lie. I'm very happy with the way my body looks, but I could tell you right off the bat that I know I'm not in shape. Yes, people who think they are somewhat overweight half the time aren't. Just because you weigh you more than one person doesn't mean they're healthier than you.
