It’s different levels of hunger and how people manage them.

I'm thin. I just don't eat.

I was a figure skater growing up and still have a lot of muscle mass from that. I’ve always been able to eat/drink what I want and stay skinny, but recently I’ve improved my nutrition because I was sick of the other effects of my diet. So, I do eat a lot of lean protein today, but my body composition is basically the same as before. I think genetics and my athletic training were bigger factors.

I don't know what your definitions of "rich" and "thin" are, but I'll play. I'm definitely not DCUM rich, and I'm 5'9 and 124lb (just weighed myself this morning). 54 years old.

I think if one has always been thin, it is easy to maintain. I think a lot of it might be genetics, too. I eat what I want, when I want, but it is probably less than the average person. If I'm hungry I eat, if I'm not, I don't.

If I want a 5 guys burger w/ fries I will eat it (jr size burger lol), but that would be my only meal for the day. Not for punishment, but because I wouldn't feel hungry. And something like that is probably a few times a year. Unless I'm traveling, I rarely eat out.

I used to work-out A LOT- 45 minutes of cardio + 45 minutes of strength every day. But the past few years I've been doing more walking and yoga. I still do weights, but only 2-3 times a week now.

But I still think they key is- eat when you are hungry, don't when you are not. Drink a lot of water. Exercise/stay active for health, not for weight loss.

I have hhi over $2m (the majority of which is me). I’m size 2 or 4 depending on size. Very healthy small, but not the waifish cigarette smoking super skinny.

I exercise most days and eat pretty healthy but not super healthy. No breakfast, smallish lunch of maybe an egg wrap with fruit on the side, or yougurt fruit and granola. Dinner is whatever - some nights a whole pizza, and other times salad. Usually home made.

The women posting with all these half yogurts and half a plate of cottage cheese are scary. I don’t know anyone still operated this way.

Um do you see what you eat PP? You are just as disordered.

NP. I eat this way too, have all my life. I really don’t like eating in the morning so no breakfast. My parents couldn’t even force me when I was a kid. I eat something small for lunch because I have a sedentary desk job and will get tired if I eat anything big (and I don’t like salad). Today it was a clementine and a soft boiled egg. I eat whatever I want for dinner. I’m fortunate that sweets don’t tempt me, and I try not to snack between meals, but I do drink quite a bit.

I’m thin enough but nothing crazy (about 118 right now, I am 5’4”) and I assure you I’m not disordered. It’s just how some people eat.

I’m the same way. But I have ADHD so a lot of my diet is a mixture of inability to cook something for just myself so I either eat whatever we have that I can just eat (sunflower seeds, cookies, fruit, yogurt is not an uncommon lunch at home for me), or I don’t eat anything for lunch because nothing looks good and there is no way I’m cooking just for me. I eat pretty big dinners with dessert because we still have family dinners at home with the kids. Sometimes breakfast is scraps of what I’m making the kids for lunch, sometimes I get myself a pastry or a breakfast sandwich. I’m 118 at 5’6”.
When the kids leave home, I am certain my diet will improve when I have time and energy to care for my own needs. Haha.
