but it depends upon your view of what is right. Personally I don't think being skinny or fat is good. I believe and try to maintain a healthy weight and in honesty I think most real people prefer people of a healthy, physically fit size.
It is only the fashion industry which creates the ill image.
Most guys want muscles and most girls want curves in the right places. Eating disorders do not allow for either of those situations.
