[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run or cycle 4-5 days a week, yoga or light strength training the other days.  Typically get 10k+ steps daily. I don’t really take full rest days unless I’m sick or traveling. My body craves motion and I don’t feel good unless I’ve moved a lot.

I eat what I want, but for me that means an extremely light breakfast and lunch then a normal dinner.   So until 6pm I’ll eat maybe a piece of fruit or a green smoothie, toast with butter and/or a scrambled egg.  I just don’t get hungry or think about food much until dinner time. I eat big meals for dinner and indulge in desserts when I feel like it.[/quote]

"I just don't get hungry or think about food much until dinner time."

THIS is the difference between someone who can manage their weight naturally and those of us who can't. I wake up hungry. I can eat a large breakfast and be hungry 2 hours later. Not just "my mouth wants food, I love sweets" but my stomach is empty again hungry. Maybe it's not empty, but that's the message my body and brain are sending me. I get cranky and sometimes shaky when I haven't eaten in 5 hours. I can't fathom people who just don't feel like eating breakfast or just eat a yogurt cup and are fine until lunch. Im not obese, but I work hard to stay at a size 8 and it can creep up to 10 if I eat intuitively. But I hate thinking about food as often as I do. Im jealous of those people who just don't get hungry much! [/quote]

Valid point. I have to be strict (though not joyless/inflexible) with myself about snacking. I plan my day around food, to a big extent! But I also really really enjoy exercise, so that helps.[/quote]
