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.
Its both true and untrue.
We suspect that the skinny, skinny people must really work hard to stay skinny. We accuse them of eating rabbit food when we see them eating nothing but lettuce with no dressing and watch every tiny morsel that crosses their hips
Fortunately, there is another group of folks who make skinny look like a cakewalk.
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 I'm little or I can only eat half of that. They think differently. They act and react to circumstances and opportunities differently. They don't 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 don't diet. True Fact. Dieting would never enter the thoughts of these naturally thin adults. You ask Why?, because they have never 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 I've never been overweight.
3. Naturally thin people don't confuse food with emotions. If they are sad, they call a friend or cry. When angry, they get some physical exercise or take it out on their pillow. They don't mix eating with emotions as it just doesn't make sense to do so. They only think of food when they become hungry. No other time, if they are emotionally stressed, they deal with their emotions, and not by eating. The thin group always deals with emotions in an emotional way.
4. The naturally thin can be social without eating. If the thin are invited to a bbq and they aren't 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 weren't craving celery. They eat foods that they crave when they are hungry. They never go into deprivation mode by saying no, I can't 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 don't do. They are always conscious 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. Naturally thin people almost never overeat. There is nothing worse to this group of thin individuals, than overeating. They hate how it sinks their energy level and forces their bellies to protrude. Yuck! This extreme discomfort keeps them from overeating and reinforces this negative feeling. The average naturally thin person only overeats two percent of the time.
Can you see the difference in their actions and mindset?
So, these thin people don't 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.
If you are thinking about losing weight, you now know it isn't about diet since the naturally thin don't. And now is the time to do it!
