re:  "Let's all start thinking about our health!" and 
thinness and guilt.

Being fat and healthy is better than being svelt and
out of shape.

Feeling guilty does nothing but drain your energy
without you getting much for it.  (Ohoh, time to start
feeling guilty about feeling guilty!) But!  If you're 
going to nag yourself, I still think concentrating
on health is better than concentrating on thinness.

Thinness isn't really a great measure of healthiness.
Also, some forms of exercize offer more than healthiness.
Springtime is a good time to go walk in the woods or a
park.  I try to concentrate on how good exercize will make
me feel, (relaxed, calm, invigorated) rather than on how 
long it's been since the last time I did any.
