I know I'm only 20lbs over what I'd like to be & all my girlfriends agree. Live life, do your thing and worry not - it's about how you feel & whether YOU are comfortable and happy - absolutely nothing else. (ok, health maybe....but if you're healthy you're generally happy eh) Baaa – when we moved to our house I went to the local docors for a check up – hi report said I was like 70lbs over my ‘ideal’ weight – whatever.

My little hippie village is full of people who are fit and obsessed with organic food and yoga, kickboxing, etc. and on average they seem fairly thin--probably thinner than the national average. But when I go back to Texas in a couple weeks I know we'll be joking about how everything really is bigger down there--people, vehicles, Target stores, pizzas, etc. Good point, Sarah.

In San Francisco, with its population of slim Asians and outdoorsy yoga loving fitness geeks, I feel like I'm on the large side of normal, but when I venture into Texas or the South, I feel ridiculously petite. Not surprisingly, the differences in portion sizes and attitudes towards food are also pretty striking. It’s totally relative.
