[quote=Anonymous]Im 5-9 and 130lbs. And trust me, it DOES NOT come naturally!

When I was in my late teens early 20s, I lost 45Lbs because I was so sick of wearing a size 14.  It took me a whole year mind you but I did it....I did not weigh myself for a whole year. Instead, I just stopped eating crap and started exercising. not crazy exercise but 3-4 times per week aerobic's class. 
I took the time to really listen to my body and understand what my cravings meant.

Today I am 46, and still exercise and watch what I eat. If I let myself go, I would easily gain weight.  Here is how I maintain:
1) walk about 20miles per week, weights 2-3 times per week

2) no eating after 8pm

3) lo carb diet...not atkins but just being diligent about the cards I do eat. I eat complex only - fruit, veggies, whole grain products, brown rice and quinoa.  I also eat plenty of protein and fat.  FAT does not make you fat, carbs you fat. I try to not eat junk food but I do once in a while.
I also eat quality protein - eggs, fish, little dairy, red meat a few times per month, chicken

4) If I have a heavy meal, I harldy eat for the rest of the day and I watch what I eat the next day to reset my body.

5) I STOP eating when I'm full period, end of story. I hardly ever clean my plate because frankly I'm full and I hate that feeling of being stuffed.

6) I drink coffee in the morning and water the rest of day.

7) I never let myself get hungry, so I graze. nuts throughout the day usually.

And yes, I do think that genetics are involved a bit however most (and I mean most) overweight people don't get that way by accident. I see how they eat.  At my office, I am the only slim woman. when we have our weekly team lunches, I see what the other women eat and what I eat. it explains why they are fat and I'm not.

Next time you're at the grocery story, follow a fat person around and see what they put in their carts - that is why they are f-a-t. [/quote]
