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

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

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 ^^
