Not Good, Not Bad... But Interesting.

Got on to read the news and this article caught my eye. It's not so much the title, which obviously got my attention, but it was the bit about being skinny and having a shorter life-span.

I just wonder what the anorexics and bulimics have to say about it. Then again, if they're in denial about their lives, they'll probably be in denial about the issues brought up in the article.

The article does mention that if you're overly overweight, or obese, you're also in for trouble. That is already a well-known fact. But to say people who are a little on the chubby side can actually live longer than most normal-sized, or skinny people, is actually refreshing news. Now this is one excuse for normal-sized people to have their cake and enjoy it without having to think about trying to lose that little extra weight it would put on you.

So for you girls who have a nice light padding on ur bones, with a little something to cushion you in a fall, stop complaining that you need to lose weight after enjoying a slice of cake with your friend. Be comfortable and happy with what you have because it's probably prolonging your life!

My hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps!
How appropriate for Brendan's birthday - an article to tell him he's okay to eat MORE than he already does.
:-p

Today's word verification: Ouseyt - As in "Did you hear that? Ouseyt that?"
