[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never dieted. I don't have an unusually fast metabolism.  Diets were never my thing and way back when I tried it messed things up and then I'd just obsess about food.

I have always been an athlete and love exercise.  So I have lifted and done cardio my entire life 5-6 days per week.

The way I eat is--maybe healthier Mon-Thur if I know I want to eat crappier through the weekend.  If I know I am going to eat her grub street type of crap--it's usually once a day and usually mid day or early dinner.  Sometimes it might be a full day of it, but then I will be back on track the following the day or post weekend.  When things get a little pudgy around the waist, I go full bore and cut back and up output. These are things I just learned over time and at 50 I am still the same weight I was pre-college (actually less) and very toned.

I never want to cut out things.  I was raised too much of a foodie by my dad for that.  I don't want an austere lifestyle.  Being part-Italian food is part of living.  I love trying new things and I'm never completely cutting out any food group or dessert, etc.  Everything in moderation over time and keep moving.  SJP lives in a walkable place and so do I.  I'm on foot a lot.[/quote]

I'm exactly like you except my parents are immigrants, so I'm not "part" anything I suppose, but definitely an American myself. I always am healthy and have a health weight but I am a size 8-10 and can't get thin or look good in a bathing suit- I mean actually good- without doing a more "conscious eating" lifestyle, like what a nutrition coach might give you. I love veggies etc and eat them happily but if I "ate what I wanted" it would be all the veggies AND all the carbs.

I honestly just think some people have a bigger appetite. I have to kind of continually try to train myself to bring it down and moderate. I hate processed foods but I still love quantity of good food.[/quote]
