TOO SKINNY?

I went to yoga on Sunday and saw a friend I hadn't seen for a couple months. She was very skinny, almost too skinny. Super model skinny. Sunken cheeks skinny. No butt skinny.  Thighs that don't touch when you stand with your feet together skinny.  Scary skinny. Suffice it to say that the girl was skinny. Something like this.....

In the not too distant past, I might have made comments like this:
"Wow, have you lost weight?" OR "Damn, girl, you are tiny.  What's your secret?"
But, I'm older now, not old, mind you, just mature, so I hesitated and decided not to say a thing.  Here's why-I was afraid of her answer. What if I had asked her the secret to losing so much weight and she told me it was cancer? What if her weight loss was due to losing her husband? What if her self image was totally distorted? What if? What if?

So I said nothing and wondered if my forearm was bigger than her thigh.  I hope not.
