Can you be healthy and be thin?

I've always wondered why everybody wants to be thin. I want to be thin myself, and I've been trying to look like a model all my life, however I still don't look like one. I wonder why for me and for so many people it is so important to look like a Hollywood star even if in the real life it is very hard to do. Why can't we just be satisfied with a healthy weight and be happy with the way we are. Honestly, I don't know the answer to these questions. All I can think of that girls take Adipex diet pills, work out themselves to death and still don't like the way they look because of our mentality. The United States thinks that “thin” is pretty, however it shouldn't be this way. People should want to work our regularly, eat right and take diet pills like Phentermine if necessary because they want to be healthy, and not just for looking pretty according to some man-made standards. I've been trying to change the way I think about being thin too, and from now on I make health my priority and not a model look. I've been learning how to have and healthy weight and maintain it, and here's what I do now.
The most important thing in the world is eating healthy. Now, I try as much as I can to have at least 1 serving of fruit and three of vegetables a day. Sometimes I would have all my servings of vegetables in one meal, so I can get it out of the way. I eat lean protein such as chicken and fish to help my muscle develop. And I eat whole grains as much as I don't want to. It's funny, but I used to avoid eating them, but now I know that they are source of energy and essential for a healthy life. Also, I make sure to have a serving of nuts as a snack a day and a glass of non-fat milk for breakfast. So, this has been my diet. It's pretty simple to do actually once you get used to it. And besides eating like this I try to exercise every day at least a little, so my body will be toned and healthy. As I started eating healthy and exercise every day, I'm so surprised with myself how beautiful I look even if I don't look like a model. I love my life more now because I'm comfortable in my skin. I would advice everybody to try to focus on a healthy body and not on the way you look. And then slowly you will learn to love yourself just the way you are because being healthy makes you already beautiful.
