[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you ever read Judith Beck's books? Her approach to weight loss is based on cognitive therapy. I've just finished her first book and in it she explains how most thin people think about food differently than overweight people. The responses from the skinny moms on this thread reinforce what Beck says in her book. They don't think about food very often. They're disgusted by large portions. They dislike feeling full. They eat for fuel not pleasure. Hunger is not an emergency to them...they can withstand the discomfort and wait until the next meal to eat.

So what seems simple/natural to these thin moms requires much more effort from us fat moms.  [/quote]

Hmmm, thin Asian mom here. This does not describe me or any thin Asian moms I know. Maybe it's cultural, but we love love good food, think about it all the time, and enjoy feeling full (but not overly so). I think it's important to associate food with friends and family, not eat alone, and to take the time to cook at home.[/quote]
