I just watched an interesting video on YouTube and it talked it being possible to be too thin. I always thought it was interesting because people have told me I am "so skinny" my whole life. I remember even when I was a little kid on the playground, they used to call me "Skinny Winny." So I went and told the teacher. She laughed. It was kind of funny, I must admit.

I think it is interesting that people tell me that. It is like it is some kind of new revelation or something. I remember there was a girl at work who would comment to me about it. I knew she had almost exactly the same body type as me. I finally asked her, "Well, how tall are you, and how much do you weigh?" She was a very similar height and weight. I think that solved the "You are so skinny" conversations.

I was reading a business book by Zig Ziglar and he talked about it being good to be fit and thin. He didn't think it hurt err on being a little more thin than normal. It seemed as if he agreed with the "You can never be to thin or too rich" idea.

So, what do you think? Do you think women can be "too thin?" This video has a guy in it who asks people if they would like to look as thin as a fashion model. I think their responses are interesting.

   We call all be too much of anything... too loud, too confident, too skinny, too fearful. The often all-too-hard challenge is to be vulberable enough to 'fess up to what is causing us to be too much of anything and value ourselves worthy of being loved in spite of our perceived flaws.
