Secrets of Naturally Thin People |
Have you ever wondered how some ‘lucky’ people can eat just about anything and never put on any weight? Wouldn’t it be great if we could all do that? Sometimes we think: “when I’m thin...I’ll be happy...get that great promotion...find the perfect guy...” Naturally thin people go through the same range of emotions as, for want of a better word, un-naturally thin people. The only difference being that they do not attribute every little thing that goes wrong, or not right, to the fact that they are carrying a few extra pounds! As a result you will find that they have a much healthier relationship with food. In actual fact you may find that naturally thin people never worry about their weight. They have a stable weight and probably never weigh measure or otherwise keep track of their body’s dimensions. The fact is they don’t need to weigh themselves, because they trust their bodies to regulate their weight. |
Similarly, naturally thin people also trust their body to tell them when they are hungry and when they are full. Eating when they are hungry and stopping when they are full, even if that means leaving some food on the plate! Shock ...horror!
People in general eat because they are physically hungry (75-100% of the time), physically desire something (0-25% of the time) or emotionally desire something (0-10% of the time).
The key is to be attuned to the body’s signals of what it needs and to keep everything in proportion. This means it’s fine to eat something just because you want it, or to occasionally eat because you’re having a bad day. Just make sure you are aware of what you are eating and why. Pay attention to why you are eating and make your choices consciously and in proportion.
