I would rather look good AND be healthy : )

I think they are one and the same.

There are plenty of people who are naturally thin, but not healthy.

I'll be honest, my main motivation is to look better. I want to fit into my clothes and I want a little less jiggle.

BUT- I also miss feeling strong. Three pregnancies and three c-sections in 4 years has absolutely wrecked my body, and I started feeling old and out of shape for the first time in my life.

My husband and I are back on track though, and hitting the gym again.

So, to answer the question, I want both. Ask me on different days, and I will probably give you different answers.

Exactly! And they don't look good either. They look sick and like you should go make them a cake or something. Thin is not the same as beautiful. Despite what the media says.

If I had to choose one I would chose healthy over looking good! If I feel healthy, I feel I look better. I can't think of a time where I felt "blah" internally and thought I looked great!

I'm all for feeling healthy.  Last summer I looked pretty good, I had lost weight and all that jazz...but I developed gallstones and was miserable the WHOLE time.  Couldn't enjoy those looks for a second.  So I'm gonna vote for HEALTH!!

i vote for health... i think you can be unhealthy and look good but i think if you are healthy you will look your best no matter what...  it seems a lot of girls are about looks though, with diets that are all over the place, yoyo diets and cutting calories/ foods that shouldn't be removed from your diet but not cutting bad things out of their diet... you shouldn't be living off of diet whatever soda and other junk to look thin and "your best"... but i'm biased, as the wife of a natural foods nutritional counselor.... bottom line, if you are unhealthy you can look good for a time thanks to all the beauty tricks these days but i think you are selling yourself short because a lot of those tricks cause premature aging... and striving for better health makes you look good, feel good and it is a long term plan for your life :)
