+2.  If I go on a binge (usually while travelling in the states or during blizzards...), my stomach gets accustomed to eating much more food.  So, I have to purposefully reduce portion sizes for a few days, which does leave me a little hungry.  But after a few days, I'm used to it, and I don't want to eat more.  I'm not hungry at all.  I'm perfectly happy.  And thin.  It isn't genetic.  It is just making sure that I don't stretch out my stomach so much that I crave the same quantity next time.[/quote]

PP who gets full easily again.

I think genes may have something to do with it. My mother was put on the "drinking man's diet" when she was pregnant with me b/c she was not gaining enough weight. As a child my parents were told to make me eat peanut butter every day so I would pack on the pounds, b/c I was "too thin". Just got back from the ped's last week, and my daughter is in the 5th percentile for weight. She is very healthy, eats excellent food, is very active, but she is so, so thin.

I look at other girls her age (9) and there is such a wide range of bodies and weights, how can this not be somewhat genetic? Of course diet accounts for a lot, but I ate like crap through my teens and twenties and had a BMI of less than 18. (At 45, it is now 19.5)[/quote]
