Speaking of Fitness and Going Healthy, 20 year old Whitney Thompson won America's Next Top Model last night. She's considered "plus sized" in the modeling industry but she's actually a perfectly healthy weight for her size. Next to rail thin models, she might be considered plus sized but in general, she is the size she should be.
But it leads me to thinking about our upcoming competition to Go Healthy. There's such a disparity between encouraging our children to maintain a healthy and stable weight and watching the media typically showing people who are underweight - and at weights that are just not attainable for many people.
I am pleased to see a woman of healthy and average weight winning this competition! Maybe it is a step in the right direction, like no longer glamourizing tan skin!
