[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the thin people I know who "eat whatever they want" in actuality don't eat a whole lot (they feel full/done after grazing for a while).   So, they are lucky in that they are sated with less than I would be. [/quote]

This is what I think people miss.  That and I would think that some of these "naturally thin" people are better at not letting themselves get heavy in the first place - not watching the scale, but if their pants feel a little tight, they cut back for the week without really thinking about it.  They're probably also not sedentary.  Maybe they don't exercise daily in the gym, but they probably do lots of walking and moving around within the course of their days.

I would probably be called "naturally thin" - I'm tall and size 2/4 (not teeny, but slender) - and if people watched me eat, they'd probably say I eat whatever I want.  I eat every couple of hours, I eat chocolate after every meal, if I want a big meal, I eat it.  I think the difference is that "whatever I want" is pretty much all healthy, unprocessed foods.  I'm vegetarian, I do lots of cooking, I rarely eat processed, packaged stuff, I never eat anything with fake sugar/preservatives, I never drink soda or other fake drinks.  I eat frequently, but rarely do I eat a lot.

So one person's "wow she gets to eat whatever she wants and stays thin!" - well maybe to them that means huge amounts of unhealthy foods.  I doubt there are more than a handful of adult women who could truly eat tons of unhealthy food and stay thin.  I can't help but think all this focus on blaming obesity on genetics isn't more frequently a huge cop-out (notice I said frequently, not always).  There, I said it.[/quote]
