I sometimes lament the fact that I don't gain weight easily. I'm just under 5' 11" and this morning weighed 126 pounds. So I don't carry much fat (except that I have a sort of round baby face). Secretly, I like this fact. I'm not bony or anorexic. I'm just slender. And even if I'm not endowed with huge breasts, the truth is my legs and butt have gotten me quite far in life. They served me well in the days when I worked for male executives in the company I worked for. And when I put on skirts or a swim suit, they still get my husband's attention, too.

I like the fact that I'm not part of the obesity epidemic. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about being slim. It's much healthier than the alternative!
