Same as me.  I now am much healthier, lower cholesterol, more energy, 
never sick.  But my relatives nag me that I'm too thin.  My brothers 
are overweight, have cholesterol problems, and are starting to have 
other health problems.  Besides the weight, I have the same reaction to 
being so pale.  Sun damaged skin ages faster.  I avoid sun damage and 
stay really pale.  I am often mistaken for being much younger than I 
am, yet people think I look funny because I am so pale.

I should go skinhead or dye my hair black for a "goth" skeletal look.  
But I digress....
