7 Skinny Secrets To A Svelte You
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.
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, I've come up 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. Thin is the thinking of the day with thin people. They KNOW they will be thin forever. They never talk about being fat, or not having enough to eat. They tell themselves thin stuff and their reaction to circumstances is different. They don't use food to placate themselves if something unpleasant happens or go on an eating binge when procrastinating. They don't see food as anything more than as fuel for their bodies. They may enjoy it, but that is all there is to it.
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. The naturally thin don't 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 doesn't make sense to them. The only reason food is ever thought of is because they get hungry - that's 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 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. Being naturally thin means eating what a person loves. It doesn't mean eating celery sticks if they aren't craving celery sticks. Eating foods they crave takes place when they are hungry. They would never think of not eating something or saying no, that isn't good for me unless of course there is some allergy or sensitivity to the food. Thin people know they can eat whatever they want should they be hungry.
6. The naturally thin don't numb out or mindlessly eat. They stay conscious of what they're eating and the effects it's having on their body. They would almost never find themselves with their hand at the bottom of a bucket of popcorn at a movie, wondering who ate it all. These naturally thin men and women know how hungry or full they are before, while, or after they eat a meal. Naturally thin people are ignorant about food. They don't know anything about diets, and the process of counting calories baffles them.
7. Overeating is not something naturally thin people do. This group of individuals see no value in overeating. They know it saps their energy and causes their belles to protrude. Yuck! Overeating causes extreme discomfort and reinforces the negative feeling while keeping them from overeating. Overeating occurs less than two percent of the time in naturally thin people.
See, there is a difference in their mindset and their actions.
You've learned that it's not your genetics or luck; its not the quality or types of food that determines whether these thin individuals gain weight. Its about how they eat, when they eat, their connection with their body and the freedom to choose all types of foods.
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!
