[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all who contributed here.

As someone who has been at both the high and low ends of my BMI, but never over or under, it's good to hear from from others "like me."

As a kid, I have never had a big appetite -  my parents used to beg me to eat.  That changed in late adolescence, but the small appetite then returned and has persisted.  I became nutritionally aware and am careful to choose foods that are good for me, that don't fill me up too fast.

People often think I eat like a bird, until they see me at breakfast (a huge bowl of hot cereal, carefully concocted to include plenty of healthy stuff, incl. protein.) In my twenties I became an accidental vegetarian - I found I felt better not eating meat.

I've always liked physical exercize and build it into my daily routine.

Is it genetic?  Yes, to some extent.  My parents were physical active and ate well but not in huge amounts.  My siblings and cousins have all become overweight and there's a reason for it - they eat too much and don't get enough exercise.

I'm currently at the low end of my normal BMI, and people generally think I'm too skinny, but I don't let it bother me.[/quote]
