When at the kid play area at the mall you get bored and look at the other moms. I notice most of the moms are usually overweight. Sometimes you see medium sized or thin moms and I would love to be one of them!! I know me and the other moms are jealous of them. You hear them say things about them, like "how can she be so thin and have kids??" or "She must just exercise all the time and have no time for the kids" or other little comments. I think we just dont want to admit they watch what they eat and dont eat as much as we do. My friends who have always been thin tell me they "forget" to eat sometimes and their food portions are usually small. One friend orders happy meals for her lunch at work or when she is out (the kind meant for kids) and gives her kids the toys. This keeps her portions in line. Some eat just an apple and yogurt for lunch. I am starting to believe the naturally thin do eat much less. I always just thought they had amazing metabolisms!!
I know some poeple can eat a ton of food and not gain, but I bet its not a ton all the time or they eventually would gain weight.
Any comments from the moms or from anyone??
