[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok but all of the “it’s about your appetite / the size of your stomach” posts are ignoring the fact that the average thin person has trained their body to not want to overeat by…not overeating. And vice versa [/quote]

I have not 'trained' anything. I have been like this my whole life. It is genetics. I don't see why some people do not get this.[/quote]

Perhaps not intentionally, but you have.

There may be an element of genetics, but the vast majority of weight is about little choices, constantly. Your mind is so accustomed to those choices that you don’t question it; which is great.[/quote]

OK but what is your point? You say were are 'overlooking' this fact. What is the rub?[/quote]

That it’s not “just the way your body is”, and that it’s not that some people just have crazy appetites and some don’t. It’s about what your body is accustomed to [/quote]

Why is it so hard to believe people have different appetites?

Honestly it feels like you are projecting a lot of insecurity or other issues here. [/quote]

I absolutely believe people have different appetites, are you even reading what was written? I’m saying that your appetite is generally a direct result of how much you are accustomed to eating[/quote]

Anyone with multiple kids with different appetites knows this isn't true.  My kids were raised the same way, exposed to the same foods, same portions, same everything, but one eats way more than the other.  And it's been that way since they started solids.  [/quote]
