This is sadly true and it's an odd fact for the human species.
Look on the cover of almost any fitness or "health" magazine and you will see one of the three following types:
Super Tall and Super Skinny. These are usually females and they are usually way to slim to actually be healthy and happy. For example, I am talking about a woman who is say 5 foot 9 or 10 and weighs all of 102 lbs. Unless she has the genetics for it, she probably is not healthy and it probably trying to make herself look a certain way in order to make society happy.
"Muscle Monkeys" These guys, and sometimes ladies with muscles popping and bulging veins exploding from under paper thin skin. I call these Muscle Monkeys, spend 4-6 hours a day pumping iron and usually jacked off of a combination of various chemicals that I doubt a pharmacist could pronounce let alone suggest.
"The 700 lb man or woman who lost 550 lbs and you can too" I am still trying to figure out why society is in amazed with either very very very large people or very very very tiny people.
So what about those of us in the middle? My personal and professional oppinion is that we should select goals for ourselves that are a challenge but in the realm of possible. We should make healthy food choices and not eat fast food everyday or drink five galons of pop a day. Make an honest attempt at being more active and not spend 8 hours a day watching TV.
