That&#8217;s right!!!<br \/>\nI no longer house economy-sized bottles of baby powder to rub between my thighs before a summer-time walk!  I no longer suffer from thigh &#8216;chafing!&#8217;<br \/>\n<strong>Amazing accomplishment, no?  Something you can relate to, yes?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell then, you can imagine my upset when I read this morning that a study conducted by the British Medical Journey of approximately 3,000 men and women between the ages of 35 to 65 indicated that those with a thigh circumference of less than 23.6 inches &#8220;greatly increased&#8221; their risk of developing heart disease and dying prematurely!<br \/>\nThe people at the <strong>greatest risk<\/strong> of developing heart and circulation problems and dying prematurely are people whose thigh circumference measures less than 18 inches!   And, further &#8211; just so you know &#8211; there is no benefit from having thighs that are larger than 23.6 inches!<br \/>\nSo to those who have 23.6 inch thighs, mazel tov! You&#8217;re perfect. To those who measure less than 18 inches, presumably like Victoria Beckham, take heed!  As for me, I&#8217;m still thrilled with the space between my thighs, and I will continue to exercise, eat healthfully, think happy thoughts and monitor my blood pressure!<br \/>\nFor the full skinny on the study, visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/cgi\/content\/abstract\/339\/sep03_2\/b3292\">Thigh circumference and risk of heart disease and premature death: prospective cohort study<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>More Celebrity Weight:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/11\/kirstie-alley-fat-actress-will.html\">Kirstie Alley<\/a> &#8211; Will she lose it and find it AGAIN?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/11\/kirstie-alley-fat-actress-will.html\">Mo&#8217;Nique Loses it! <\/a>40 pounds.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/08\/kelly-clarkson-self-magazine.html\">Kelly Clarkson<\/a> AirBrushed Away?<br \/>\nSpread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<br \/>\n________________________________<br \/>\nDoes your weight loss chart look like an EKG?<br \/>\nIn need of a coach? <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Follow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>Join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kick_in_the_tush_club\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kick in the Tush Club<\/strong><\/a>: <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beliefnet\" title=\"Beliefnet\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Beliefnet<\/a> Chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Visit:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">www.OurLadyofWeightLoss.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.janicetaylorliving.com\">www.JaniceTaylorLiving.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you thighs too small?
