Default GirlScout "Thin"

I got a hold of a very old girlscout book form the early 50's I think it was. It was either a Junior or Senior book, which means it is for teens.

In one of the health badges they were talking about weight. The teste they said to use was

Wrap your hands around your waist. If your fingers overlap you are underweight. If they touch, then you are a healthy weight. If your fingers can not touch then you are overweight and need to lose some pounds.

I know having 2 kids and being older then a teen (all of 24) I may store a little extra fat. I can not visualize my waist ever being that small however, regardless of my age.
