Fat and healthy not an oxymoron

Such a study is all well and good, but what about the relationship between weight/figure and emotional health? And the relationship between emotional health and physical health? I suspect that the emotional health of most who look into the mirror and see an out-of-shape, flabby, obese egg is not on par with that of those who see a healthy, happy, slim, trim, well-proportioned person. If I am not mistaken, quite a number of reputable studies have demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between good physical health and good emotional health. In spite of the results of the study cited above, I shall continue to go out for a five-mile morning run (that is a run, not a jog) at an altitude of 6,100 feet, six days each week. It does wonders for both my figure and my emotional well-being (the mountains are beautiful at dawn). Call it vanity if you will, but this 56-year-old woman derives a certain amount of pleasure in looking into the mirror and seeing a well-proportioned, flat-bellied, 138-pound, 5'10" woman looking back at her. Oh, I don't "diet." It's not necessary if one eats in moderation.
