Default Slender, healthy people eat fruit for dessert and .....

Or at least this is what I strongly believe now.

Also...

Skinny people can cut up veggies and have it in the fridge for handy snacks.

Skinny people find the time to exercise and it just doesn't feel right if they have to skip a day.

Skinny people can leave food on their plates because they feel full.

Skinny people eat smaller meals throughout the day, and can stop at "just a few". They are great at brown bagging it too.

Skinny people have healthy foods stashed in their purses or cars for emergencies.

Skinny people have learned that if you turn down food that is offered to them, the one offering will just have to deal with it. Food does not equal love.

Skinny people will find other ways to relieve stress, anger, anxiety, hurt, ect., other than food.

Skinny people eat what they want, but in moderation. But mostly what they want are nutritious, not junk.

Does anyone have anything else to add?

The skinny people you guys know are different than the ones I know but...

My (skinny) husband does snack all day long and can keep food on his plate and can stop after eating just a few. Food also doesn't have an emotional tie for him.

Can I make a suggestion? I think we should change this to healthy people cuz we all know just cuz someone is skinny doesn't mean they are healthy! And healthy is what we want.
so.......healthy people know how to have a balance in their life. such as a balance of play/relax time and time to move and work on their bodies.

I agree. I already saw it as healthy people, not just "skinny."

We can change it to healthy. When I thought up "skinny", I was thinking it would be the catchy title of my book one day....

so true.... when I used to be thin I always felt crappy if I skipped a day of exercise. I don't mean guilty - I physically just felt like crap!

I think some people are born skinny, but some of them have to struggling hard to get that body. Some of them can eat the whole turkey in thanksgiving, and some of them have to diet everyday

I only know a handful of naturally thin for life people and I have noticed that they do things a lot different than me and my overweight friends.

They order appetizers as their meal and have dessert, skipping the main course.

They will eat a candy bar for breakfast, and not feel bad about it.

During their 15 minute break at work, they go out side and smoke, (or visit with the smokers) instead of hit the vending machine.

They work on home improvement projects late into the night instead of sitting down in front of the TV.

They socialize more, they do more activities with church groups, work friends and school, they are not loners.

Family night is the bowling alley, not the movie theatre.

They have no idea what "The Biggest Loser" is.

They get rid of clothes because they are worn out.

They walk their dog twice a day.

They play "sports" with their kids.

Skinny/healthy people see food as a necessity for good health, not an obsession to be planned and coveted.

Skinny/healthy people let their body decide when it's time to eat.

doIlookfat?- BTW~Great book title!!!

I do think that would be a cute title for a book! Sorry I just have seen some threads that have been "hijacked" cuz someone didn't like the way something was phrased and the subject of the thread was completely thrown out the window. I was hoping to avoid that since I like the idea of this thread.
