I have been thin all my life. My mother thought I was going to be in size 6X forever! In fact, my family took to calling me 'Skinny Jenny' and still does every so often. I was blessed in that my mother cooked healthy meals and passed those skills on to me. I certainly do think lifestyle has a lot to do with good health. I have always been active from participating in high school sports, to scuba diving, being in the military, running and cycling. I don't like to sit still.

I have found, however, that my thin-ness bothers some people. 'You need to eat more', they say, or 'Why do you bike (or run) so much, you don't need to exercise, you're so thin already.'
