I think exactly that, plus they might be a bit more active
on average. I was skinny once. During my 20s I could eat
more or less anything I wanted at around 12 stone @6`2".
Then I stopped smoking, got a car, got some disposable
income and the weight gains started. I gained 112 pounds or
around 392000 calories over 15 years which works out at <80
calories per day. That can easily be accounted for by lack
of exercise. If I'd carried on walking to work each day
instead of driving the car I'd still be 12 stone!!!

I actually made some informal studies of this when traveling
with thin friends in the past. Overall, they don't eat much,
compared to what I used to eat. Sort of like me now, I don't
eat all that much compared..... most the time.

We were just talking about this not too long ago, in another
thread. I think someone had said they got pi**ed off
watching those naturally thin people eat. My thoughts were
like yours ... are there really any naturally thin people? I
have a feeling that they watch things as closely as we do,
but have been doing it for much longer. We only see them eat
on occassion, we don't see them 24/7. The best example I
could come up with is a neighborhood woman, who's children
have been in school with mine forever. Nicest woman around,
thinnest dang thing I have ever seen ... even after having 4
children. I swore she was one of those lucky naturally think
people and was very jealous. Just a few weeks ago I noticed
her out on the street jogging ... then saw her again a few
days later. Now I've noticed that this appears to be a daily
routine for her. So is she REALLY naturally thin? She has
always been thin from what I have seen (over the course of
17 years) but she also seems to be very dedicated to
remaining that way. I am sure she is careful what she eats,
based on her diligence in exercising that I have just
noticed. I've just begun to change my views on how I look at
other people, realize that we don't know their entire story
and it isn't fair to make judgement on what little we
actually see.

You know I had not thought of this, but it is so true. When
we do crafts at church (where the lady thought I was one of
those naturally thin people) the ones who have known me
since I was 365 don't want to listen to suggestions on where
it is good for me to eat any more, so I just began going
along to wherever and making the best choices I can. We have
been to a buffet the last 4 or 5 weeks, and they "vet" my
plate. "is that all you are getting?" I finally told them
last week that the food was just not really up to my
standards at buffets, and offended everyone.....

I think you are right on target, the difference between us and those other
people is that their body does naturally what we must intellectually do. I
also think that there are a bunch of normal "looking" people who do the same

My niece in law is the best example I ever saw. She is very

of the day. Recently Mom and I visited at their home in
Austin for a day or two. She has one piece of dry toast in
the morning "this is all I want in the morning", about a
half a sandwich maybe at lunch time with her baby under her
arm, and picks up a chip or two off of someone elses plate.
Eats maybe half a peanut butter cup from someones hand mid
afternoon. Then eats a pretty big meal in the evening. On
her feet in motion the entire day.

Freaky to watch. Breaks all the rules. But total calories in
- total out seems to maintain her 100 or so pounds nicely.

Thanks for the clarification. So, if someone was up in
weight early in the month, it is to their benefit to NOT
attend that meeting and work their tail off the next

I'm having more of a problem with my older daughter right
now ... she means well, but geeeeeesh - get a clue! She
just had a baby the end of january, is making a good effort
to get back to her previous weight. But now that she is
living directly across the street, she is sending all her
*goodie* leftovers to our house. Today my youngest walked
in with half a chocolate bundt cake (looks like one from
KFC or Boston Market). I understand her not wanting the
item where it is constantly calling her name, but don't
understand why she won't realize that I don't need it
calling my name either! Of course, I'm sure the youngest
girl didn't object to carrying it home ... yet she hasn't
been tempted at all by it.

Like you, guess I'm the peacemaker and try to be adaptable.
I go along with everyone else and try to do the best I can.
I do wish that others would give me that same courtesy on
occassion.

Wow, that doesn't seem to be much food when running after
kids all day, but obviously she knows what works for her. I
can understand her breakfast eating as I'm the same way. I
really don't enjoy breakfast, am not in the mood to face
food in the morning. I have to conciously force myself to
fix something. Usually it's that piece of toast, maybe some
fruit added. Today it was just a huge bowl of cut up fresh
fruit. And that ever-present coffee. <g> My dinners are much
larger - that seems to be *my* meal.

You can actually have almost 8 weeks between weighin's
if you weigh in, say first week of March. Then the last
week of April.

Joyce said:

Thanks for the clarification. So, if someone was up in
weight early in the month, it is to their benefit to NOT
attend that meeting and work their tail off the next
week or so to get back down. Not a totally bad idea -
not good either.

She is tiny. Very petite in every way. About 5' 1" feet
tall, and weighs between 90 and 100 pounds. Doesn't do any
organized exercise, but is active when at home, she does
have a sitting job. Her one meal is usually enough calories
for a woman that size. If people see her eat that one, and
don't know how she lives the rest of her day they would
wonder. No fat people in her family at all.

Wow, I can do a heck of a lot of damage in 8 weeks. <G> I do
think it is a great way to handle it though, gives you
enough time and hopefully incentive to get a grasp on things
immediately. It also allows plenty of recovery time if
vacationing, special occassions, just plain ol' life getting
in the way, etc.

I'm with you Joyce. I actually hate breakfast unless I eat
it around 11:00 or so. Coffee I have to have in the morning,
but food first thing turns me off. I usually force myself to
eat something at breakfast, then a healthy lunch, dinners
are usually my larger meals too. I wish the evening snacks
turned me off as much as breakfast!

At that height, she probably is the right weight even though
it seems incredibly tiny to me (but so does 5'1"😉. Since
there aren't any other heavy members of her family, I do
wonder if this is just what she was accustomed to when
growing up ... eating much lighter during the day and one
larger main meal. If so, she may be very fortunate and it's
more of a routine now. I have a feeling my youngest girl
will be like this (time will tell though). Even at the age
of 16, she still only takes half a sandwich to school in her
lunch ... on the rare occassion she gets a burge, she eats
maybe half of it, if even that. Today's lunch for her was a
yogurt, slice of cheese and a granola bar - which she thinks
is a huge lunch. Oh
- she also takes one of those mini sized cans of soda (8 oz)
... diet of course.
<G> She eats a pretty good dinner .. for her ... but it
consists mainly of veggies, salad and about 1 to 2
ounces of meat. She just isn't an eater I guess.
