So tell us...is being skinny worth it?

For me personally being skinny is not the goal. But being happy and healthy and happy in my skin is.

Having a better quality of life by being healthier is worth it to me.

I don't consider myself skinny (far from it!) but losing nearly 2 stone in weight has given me more confidence and a spring in my step. Although I've not hit my goal weight, I'm at a stage where I can look at my body (completely nude) and think "Yeah, not too shabby!" When before, I'd be disgusted at what I saw and rush to get a towel or a robe around me!

I'm not skinny, and don't plan to be, but not being overweight really is worth it

Well, let me put it to you the way my doctor said it to me...
"Look around! You don't see a lot of fat old people!"

I hate the word skinny, and I don't consider myself one.. but what is fun about stuffing my face with unhealthy food? Yes I can enjoy pizza sometimes, but I'm very happy that I only need a small amount to fill me. One slice of cake at a party? Sure. But I find nothing appealing eating loads of junk, it always makes me feel sick.
I eat a fair amount of food, go to gym because I find it enjoyable and fun, watch what I eat because I don't want to eat crappy foods.. I like to fit into my clothes and look nice in the mirror. I like doing things without getting out of breath the next moment. I like having more energy (which is pretty mood lifting!) I still get to eat when I'm hungry! And healthy food is delicious too ^^
