Dear Cutie,
What are your thoughts on the “war on obesity”? Do you think everyone should work to be thin or is everyone born to be the size they are?
Signed,

Dear Curious,
Well, I understand the concern about obesity, but I prefer to think about it in terms of health. There are different body types of all shapes and sizes, but you can be healthy in each body type. I was always a short lady and so my body doesn’t look like the movie stars, but that doesn’t mean I’m not beautiful. You learn to live with what God gave you and to appreciate what you have. Thank your body for everything it helps you do: from walking on the beach to dancing or swinging on a swing. You don’t have to be tall and thin to enjoy your body, and as long as you feel good inside it, I think you’re where you ought to be.
Love,
Cutie
