A Comment on Health

Since I am now addicted to Pinterest, I kept seeing this saying popping up all over the site: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." Apparently Kate Moss (the champion of health) said this in some magazine interview, and women are "pinning" it all over the place.

Quite frankly, this quote turns me off in a big way. I know from experience that skinny does not equal healthy. When I was playing college volleyball, I was muscular and healthy. When I finished playing and started working and going to grad school at night, I stopped eating as much and never worked out. I was skinny and unhealthy. My then-boyfriend/now-husband told me that I didn't look healthy and didn't have color in my cheeks. He wasn't a fan of my new "skinny" look.

Yesterday when I was on Pinterest, I saw a pin that said "Nothing looks as good as healthy feels." THERE YOU GO, I thought. That's the attitude I want to have, that's for sure.

Of course I forgot to repin it, and now I can't find it anywhere.

No big deal– I'll just make my own, right? Here it is!
