[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you aren’t going to get 1) honest feedback 2) it is all relative

[b]People that are truly slim naturally and “eat what they want” don’t want to eat the same things and the same amounts that those who struggle with their weight do.[/b]  [/quote]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Spot on. I had a naturally thin roommate who ate ice cream every night. But her serving of ice cream was different than mine and she wasn't going back for a second scoop. She also ate whatever she wanted at meals and was a fabulous cook, but again when she ate she always stopped when she was full and almost always left food on her plate.

Everyone wants to believe that thin people have higher metabolisms, or do some special workouts, but in reality they are just really good at self moderation. Sure exercise plays a roll in weight maintenance, but diet is the much bigger factor.

All of this. It's really about portion size, and maybe in some ways genetic because some people have better self-regulation and preferences for different food types. I was overweight in college, even though I exercised a lot and tried to eat healthy foods, because I just ate portions that were too large. Now, I look like someone who is slim and eats what they want but really I just know how many calories I need and how to get that from intuitive eating. I still do exercise regularly, but mostly moderate things like walking and light weights. [/quote]

This is not 100% true. I'm slim and it's my metabolism and genetics. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that it's because I have any more self-control or self-discipline as anyone else.

OP, know that yes for some people it's their ability to eat in moderation, but also know that people just have the metabolism for it as well. That's all.
