[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am thin and recently spent the week with a group of friends who are over weight. I was astonished at how much they eat. [b]It makes me wonder if people who are overweight have no idea how much more they eat than people who are thin to average. [/b]
In addition, I exercise and more importantly, I'm rarely sedentary. Don't get me wrong, I will binge on Netflix like i'ts nobody's business, but my friends who are overweight sit all the time. They ask their kids to grab them something from the kitchen instead of getting up to get it. They move from the couch to the chair and wait for someone to go upstairs and ask them to bring something down to them instead of getting up and running up the stairs themselves. I think it's just a different lifestyle. [/quote]

I'm thin and have some overweight friends/family, and for many of them, I think this observation is very apt. My DH was a very skinny kid and young adult (whereas I have always been thin, but never skinny), but in middle age he is about 30 pounds overweight, though he is quite active. It's food volume that is his problem. He eats. too. much.

But I know a couple of heavier people who seem to eat very well and exercise regularly and move often. They are just built differently I think.[/quote]
