I've been in a fight with family and Uncle Sam, because at 45, I remain whip-cord lean, and strong as a horse.
What with the lard-a$$es in the US becoming the norm, everyone says I look way too thin.
I eat 5 meals a day (not large meals) and am healthy. I'm not fat.
But well meaning busy-bodies insist that there is something wrong with me, because I'm 'skinny'. I've got a record from the USAF dated to 1980, showing my original sign-up weight. I'm 17 lbs heavier, according to my last USAF physical.
Maybe the busy-bodies need to quit munching on bon-bons while they sit on the couch.

Maybe you should try a glutten-free regimen for a while. You might be able to get healthy.
We're all just jealous! ;)

You're a pencilneck and proud of it!
Good for you!
I'm 66, 5'11 1/2", 142 lbs; when I joined the USAF, I was 19, 5'11 1/2", 144 lbs.
I did get up to 155 in the USAF and once hit 171 when I gave up beer and cigarettes and discovered cookies and potato chips.
Didn't start smoking until I was 27 and quit a couple of times but it's too much fun watching people cough when I walk around now with one unlit to give it up just yet.

I recently watched "Reefer Madness" on TV the thing that struck me first was how thin all the actors were. I told my wife they all looked like the people I grew up with in the fifties and sixties. I had a belly that would hardly be noticeable now when I was a teenager and I went on a strict program to rid myself of it. By the time I joined the Navy I was six three and one half inches tall and weighed a whopping 169 pounds. I sure would like to drop back to 210 again.
