[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm probably skinny fat - as in not very toned - but I was an overweight teen so I understand the differences in my behavior now versus then.

I watch what I eat in the sense that I don't eat until overstuffed very often, I don't eat meat or drink alcohol to excess, and I don't eat dessert every night. I drink soda and juices but try not to have too many of them…when I was overweight I drank way way way too many calories.

I eat what I want in the sense that I don't deprive myself of cookies or Potbelly or pasta or sriracha mayo when I feel like it, but I try to stop at 3 cookies or a "skinny" sandwich and I don't do it 3 meals a day. I probably eat 2 servings of pasta, because who eats just one?

I find myself craving veggies or lighter food after two days of less healthy food. I think that means my body is calibrated to eat this way. It turns me off to eat to excess or to eat too many rich things in a row.

I often skip breakfast because I am just not hungry then. I probably get about 150 calories in my morning coffee via milk and sugar though.

I don't formally exercise. I should for health, but I only walk occasionally. I guess I'm pretty active during the day. For what it's worth, I am maybe 5 lbs more than when I exercised to excess, and that was pre-kids.

My BMI is about 19.5 and I am 35. [/quote]

what the? I eat the same as you and excercise the same but I still need to lose weight! How tall are you? I think shorter people need to eat much less. A 5 foot woman will need to eat much much less than a 5 foot 10 woman [/quote]
