I am in Japan where skinny is in. I thought I was ok while I was in America. Then, I came here and realized I am considered a blimp. I try to watch what I eat but sometimes eating sweets and fatty foods make me happy. Thus, I am a blimp. I am not the biggest blimp here though so I know that those here who are really big must have a hard time here. I say you must do what makes you happy and healthy. If you are healthy and a bit plump, then don't worry about it too much. If you are unhealthy due to your weight, then, yes, you should do something about your weight. Most likely, it is not a problem. Happiness and good health are the two most important issues for you and me. My parents are skinny too and think I'm going to get diabetic or have a heart attack. So far, I have not. And, if you're not going to either, then don't worry and continue taking care of yourself.
