This Is A Serious Post, Too Skinny Is Not Healthy, Neither Is Too Fat

Back in high school I was totally in love with Becky. Becky was every kids dream, blonde, pretty, blue eyes. She was always thin, and tall. We of course saw her dressed. We of course had never heard of anorexia. In the eleventh grade she was moved to another school, little did we know it was a mental facility for girls with anorexia. This was in the late eighties, so the mental health issues of women and the mental health treatments for anorexia and bulimia etc were in their infancy, hide them. Suffice it to say that we didn't see her again. And we didn't hear from her either.

Well life goes on and I married Kathy who I met in college and she went on to have four kids. That was the way we were raised in Des Plaines, graduate, get married, have kids. One day when we were at a back yard social gathering and some of the kids were in the pool my wife made the comment as to how thin this one girl was. Of course that kind of thin that all the other girls wanted to be. I made the exact opposite observation, she was way too skinny, you could see her hip bones and when she lifted her arms you could count her ribs. I said I like a woman with meat on her bones, one that you can grab onto, with a good foundation. Like my wife, but she didn't think it was the appropriate thing to say right then.

I remembered them about Becky and I told my wife about how her, again, and that triggered a desire to look her up, now that there is the internet. My wife is a sleuth when it comes to the internet and she found her by starting with high school. And she found a post, about her obituary. She died when she was around forty. And the obituary asked that donations be made to anorexia research. And now this girl at the pool party seemed to have many of the same symptoms, including that vacant stare.

My wife took it upon herself to talk to the mother. The mother was uncooperative and felt insulted. Her daughter looked fine, not like our daughter who could obviously loose a few pounds. I think my daughter is nice and chunky, good hips for babies and good boobs for feeding, but I'm not allowed to think like that. Like her mom. I like women with meat on the bone.

The story of all this is that there is an obsession with too thin women. And it starts at home. My wife dove into this, her thing is to go in so deep she can't breathe. I reminded her that skinny is ugly, nice and chunky that's nice. Like her. But to get serious the girl was in treatment for her condition. Anorexia is a serious problem. Serious, don't kid yourself, if your daughter or loved one exhibits symptoms, don't walk, run for help. It is not something they can control, and it gets worse with time. I was truly affected to find out that Becky died when she was young.

But back to chunky. Chunky is healthy. Chunky is nice and wonderful. When a woman is nice and chunky you get back real loving. Real cooking. Chunky women are sexy, and if it sex that you want, you can't beat getting your arms around that and getting those boobs in your face.

I'm talking nice and chunky, not obese. That is the other side of the anorexia problem, that too is not healthy.
