If you're healthy, you're ok. I grew up "skinny" (a term I'm not fond of). I had lots of issues with it. I hated it. I'd hide my thin arms with big baggy jumpers (even in the middle of summer) and I was in my late teens before I started to feel comfy with my size. It's a post I intend to do some time, because it's quite complex, but the bottom line is that I came to accept my weight eventually (although still have things I worry about - whether my arms look too thin in some tops etc), and now that I've had 3 kids and I carry extra weight, mostly around my tummy and hips, I've had to adjust to that as well. I couldn't honestly say that I like how I am now (I really do need to exercise, but just don't get to it because I'm so busy), but I'd never want to be "skinny" like I was when I was a teenager. No way.
