Thin=Unhealthy?

[fixedgeargirl]

But being normally thin and healthy is in anybody's power. Just put some effort in it.

What about women with PCOS, or other endocrine or thyroid disorders?

There are several women on this board who could ride circles around my size 2 butt all day (and night!), yet weigh half again my body weight and have spoken openly on this board about struggling with weight and body image . There are other mitigating factors in many, many people's lives that stymie their best efforts to be "thin" or "healthy". Some of them are medical, some are genetic, some are unfortunate circumstances imposed on women by other people. As a stranger, and sometimes even as a friend, you just don't know the whole story.
