As the lyricist behind the songs I have also been asked this many times. I knew the choice of the title would be controversial, but that is in part why I chose it -- as an indie label with a small budget we had to find a way to draw attention! That said, I think if anyone listens to the songs carefully, it would become clear to them that my songs are not about any particular weight or size, just about looking and feeling good and getting into healthy shape. I myself went from 190 to 158, not skinny in anyone’s book -- but far healthier. And of course the songs were meant to be tongue-in-cheek and humorous, because that is what I felt would make me want to listen to them and make their messages stick in my head (and the heads of women like me.) But I understand, what motivates one person does not necessarily motivate another -- everyone has different musical tastes and different motivational triggers. The collateral benefit of weight loss at the level I am trying to motivate is a healthier body and heart. As someone from the American Heart Association said to me, “If you wrote songs about how excited you were to lower your cholesterol, no one would listen to them!” Anyway, thank you for the thoughtful post and best wishes I really enjoyed reading your comments about skinny versus healthy.

Growing up, I know I was always a "healthy" weight, and was probably considered "skinny" by 1980s standards. Nowadays, I'm still a healthy weight, by the BMI calculator anyways... but wouldn't consider myself "skinny." If I had to guess what has changed so many people's perceptions of what is considered thin/ healthy/ beautiful, I don't think I'd have to look any further than a "Best and Worst Bikini Bodies" section of a magazine or celebrity tabloid in the grocery store checkout aisle... <a target="_blank" href="http://skinnycelebnews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://skinnycelebnews.blogspot.com/</a> Yikes!
