[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I wouldn't say I'm naturally thin bc in college I quickly gained the standard freshman 15 lbs and was more apple shaped as a young college student.. thanks mainly to the standard college diet of pizza, soda, drinks, junk food. But at the age of 22 upon graduation the [b]weight slowly melted off over a period of a year or so.[/b] Like a lot of people starting out I was "poor" after college for a while and didn't eat out much or drink much bc of cost. I always brought a boring lunch to work. I started cooking at home a lot. Not bc I so much wanted to but bc I couldn't afford so much takeout. But I started to feel much healthier as i had [b]cut down on salt sugars and added fats[/b]. So by the time I was 24 say, I was a lot healthier in terms of diet, and then years and healthy journey just continued from there. It's a misnomer to think that those who are slender are there bc it is natural. Of course with a couple pregnancies I gained the standard weight and lost that over a [b]period of three months or so[/b].

I Still do bring home lunch when I went into office. I do drink coffee with half and half but [b]I never order those fancy coffee drinks with flavourings and sugars. I don't drink alcohol.[/b]  I used to drink a little wine on weekends with dh but stopped completely in my mid 40s bc itngave me a headache and affected my sleep. I do like dessert esp at a nice restaurant but [b]eat it only maybe 3 or so times a year. [/b]I can't day no to creme Brulee if I'm at Clyde's. Although it is so rich I usually split it with dh, but not always.

I'd recommend Move with Nicole on YouTube. She has multiple Playlists. I started with the beginner Playlist and went from there.  Some of her videos are 35 plus minutes but I always stop at 30. Most of her videos are 30 min or less. At first when I started mat pilates I was very uncoordinated and it was very difficult. I've slowly gotten better with form. Although the wonderful thing about pilates is that it is always challenging. Nicole has different levels of pilates. [/quote]

I’m happy you’re happy! But….

—You’ve been the same weight since around 22…you mention the freshman 15 but not more college weight gain but either way, it was gone w/in a year of college graduation and you’ve maintained it for decades.

—You lost your baby weight within 3 months of giving birth - each time.

— Eating desserts - which you love - but you limit to maybe 3 times a year and even then split it

— ”never” get a sugary coffee drink out, etc.

—You lead an incredibly disciplined life (see bolded parts above). I’m not sure many will replicate your results and don’t think people should.

There is much more depravation than moderation.
