Best Answer

Many women are sensitive to the fact that a lot of other adults (including many of their friends, no doubt) are overweight. Women who are naturally thin or who lose a lot of weight may not want to offend their friends by saying that they lost weight because they didn't want to be "fat." So, instead, they say they wanted to get "healthy." But if they are eating more vegetables and fruits AND they lost weight, they most likely ARE more healthy.
