I have issues with the word skinny. I don't believe it is ever a compliment {even when said with the best of intentions} to hear, "you are SO skinny". I associate the word skinny with being unhealthy. "Skinny" is not ever something to strive for in my opinion; healthy is.
When people set out to change their lives and bodies with the goal of "skinny" in mind, it usually leads them down a very unhealthy road. When trying to become "skinny", food is usually put on the back burner. Food is the fuel to our lives and our health. It should never come second to anything.
But to have a goal of "healthy" is a much different road than the "skinny" road. To become "healthy" you have to make life changing habits. You become educated on what food really is and what is can do for our bodies and minds. Not everyone has to be a size 2 to be beautiful. You can be curvy and lively and healthy all at the same time. And in my book, you will be better looking than the "skinny" girl.
Healthy shows on you. Wear it well.
