These are the best reasons I can think of. Skinny or trim (which is the word I prefer) is fine if that&#8217;s what you naturally are, as long as the term suits you in a healthy way. But &#8220;skinny&#8221; is not something I would hope people would strive for. Healthy and fit are far more important concerns than &#8220;skinny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Think about your life and get real about your legitimate need to be &#8220;skinny.&#8221; I imagine many of you don&#8217;t even care about that, but I know there are some of you who do. Your life probably requires you to be: thoughtful, energetic, determined, caring, generous, ethical, studious, cautious, healthy and fit. Being someone referred to as\u00a0&#8220;skinny&#8221; rarely plays a vital role in success or happiness. Unless of course, you need to hide behind small palm trees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you think of any more VITAL reasons to be skinny, skinny, skinny? Share in the comment section.
