Skinny Fat

You can still be fat even though you don't look it! So says a study done by the Mayo clinic. This idea is something I came across in a fitness magazine when I lived in Atlanta. The magazine called it "Skinny Fat" and ever since reading that article, I've understood that even though you're thin, it doesn't mean you're healthy!

Some people are just born skinny or thin. No matter what they do, they still look great in a size 3. But under the skin and inside the arteries tell a different tale. These skinny fat people have high cholesterol, low muscle tone and overall poor health. Just think, if they worked out that little bit, they'd have rockin' bodies and clean arteries!

Then there are people like me... short and stocky, healthy and happy.
