Skinny people intrigue everyone. What has it taken them to get that figure, or is it simply the result of lucky jeans? Er, I mean genes People wonder if the skinny just got lucky or if they have to work really hard to stay thin.
It might be, then again, it might not
The unnaturally thin work extremely hard at staying thin. They are the ones downing lettuce without dressing and watching every single food item that crosses their lips.
There is a whole other group of thin people that make being thin look easy.
Those that are naturally thin have many character traits in common to maintain their svelte figures. Here are seven secrets that I found after interviewing hundreds of naturally thin people over the course of 14 years. See if you can identify with any of them. See where you could make some natural shifts easily so that you can be a naturally thin person too.
1. The naturally thin think thin thoughts. The naturally thin know that they will stay thin forever. They make comments like Im little or I can only eat half of that. They think differently. They act and react to circumstances and opportunities differently. They dont run to food when their dog dies or sink into a food coma when procrastinating. They think about food as just food. It is delicious, they love it, but its there to fuel their body and taste good, nothing else
2. Thin people dont diet. True Fact. Dieting would never enter the thoughts of these naturally thin adults. You ask Why?, because they have naver had to and have never thought of themselves as anything but thin. If during my research I asked a thin person if they were concerned about becoming heavy and their response invariably was No! When I pressed them, they said, because Ive never been overweight.
3. The naturally thin dont mix emotions and food. If the thin are sad, they cry or call a friend. If they are angry, they go work out or punch their pillows. There is little to no crossover between emotions and eating. It simply doesnt make sense to them. The only reason food is ever thought of is because they get hungry ” thats it. If they are not hungry, but sad ” they will deal with their sadness. Dealing with emotions in an emotional way is commonplace for this thin group.
4. The naturally thin can be social without eating. If the thin are invited to a bbq and they arent hungry, they have no problem standing around not eating. If and when they get hungry, they will gladly grab a dog or burger, but not until then. They go to a bbq to enjoy the company of friends and family. Grazing for the simple act of grazing is not an option.
5. The naturally thin eat foods they love. It would never make sense for them to eat celery sticks if they werent craving celery. They eat foods that they crave when they are hungry. They never go into deprivation mode by saying no, I cant have that. They know that they are entitled to eat whatever they want when they are hungry. No is not an option unless of course there is an allergy or sensitivity to certain foods.
6. Mindless eating to numb the senses is something thin people dont do. They are always concious of the effect that what they are eating has on their bodies. You would never find them at the theater with their hand in the bottom of an almost empty popcorn bucket wondering if they ate it all. Thin people know how hungry they are before they sit down to a meal and how full they are while or after they finish eating.. They are ignorant about diets, calories and other aspects of food.
7. These thin people never overeat. They are apalled by overeating. They know it sucks their energy and bloats their stomachs. Yekk, the extreme discomfort prevents them from repeating the experience and reinforces the negative aspect of overeating. Average naturally thin people overeat less than two percent of the time.
See, there is a difference in their mindset and their actions.
So, these thin people dont depend on genetics, luck or the quality or type of food they eat. They eat differently than others ” what they eat, when they eat, their freedom to choose any type of food and they have a different connection with their bodies.
Having said that, if you’re thinking about losing weight, nows the time to do it. You dont have to diet. The naturally thin dont.
