Healthy Considerations

Everyone is intrigued by skinny people. We wonder what it will take for us to get that kind of figure or if the skinny are that way because of their family characteristics. Did the thin hit a lucky streak? Or must they work extra hard to keep that svelte figure.

Well, yes, and no

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.

On the other hand there are other thin individuals who make thin look easy.

Naturally thin people have many traits in common that help to maintain their thin figures. After interviewing hundreds of naturally skinny folks over the course of 14 years, Ive come with seven skinny secrets they have in common. You might be able to identify with some of them and you also might be able to make a few slight shifts that would help you to become naturally thin too.

1. These people have thin thinking. They know they can stay thin forever and make comments like Im little, or I’m not going to be able to eat all of that. Their self talk is different than others. Their actions to circumstances and events are different. Food is not their placebo when a pet dies or they have to do something unpleasant. To them food is just food. It may taste good, they enjoy eating it, but it isn’t there for anything but to be used as fuel for their bodies.

2. Naturally thin people do not diet. True Story. They would never ever think of dieting. If asked why, their response is that they’ve never thought of themselves as anything but skinny so they’ve never had to diet. During my many years of research one question I asked every thin person if they had ever been concerned about gaining weight and their response was always no. When I asked why not, the would tell me Ive never been heavy or over weight

3. Never mix emotions and food. If a thin person is sad, they go cry or talk to someone. If they become angry about something, they do something to relieve that stress like working out or punching their pillows. They just don’t confuse emotions and eating because it makes no sense to them. The only time they think about food is when they become hungry ” not because they are upset or sad. When upset or sad, they deal with those emotions. When they are hungry, only then is when they eat. They commonly deal with emotions in an emotional way.

4. Naturally thin people don’t have to eat to be sociable. Should a thin person go to a barbecue and not be hungry, they don’t have any problem mixing and talking but not eating. Whenever they happen to get hungry, they grab something to eat, but not until they are hungry. They are there to enjoy the socializing with family and friends. They don’t know the meaning of the term grazing.

5. Naturally thin people eat what they love. They would never think of eating celery sticks unless they were craving celery sticks. And when they are hungry, they eat foods they crave. They never deprive themselves of something by saying no, I cant have that. They know they can eat anything they want when they are hungry. They don’t say no to any food unless they are sensitive or allergic to specific 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?

Now you know that thin has nothing to do with luck, or genetics, the quality or type of food. Thin people don’t gain weight because of how they eat, their connection with their body, when they eat and the freedom to choose any type of food.

If you are thinking about losing weight, you now know it isnt about diet since the naturally thin don’t. And now is the time to do it!
