I apparently should be "naturally" thin but somehow managed to screw that up. Both my parents are fit, but I just assumed that I'd gotten my heavier genes from others in my family (I don't have siblings to compare myself to). I just got my resting metabolic rate professionally (and expensively) tested and it turns out I burn almost 200 more calories a day at rest (~1650) than would be expected for my weight and height (~1480). I blame the food supply :dizzy:

Thank God for this thread! I never understand how people say "I've had enough". How could you ever have enough of something that tastes good? Why wouldn't you eat an entire bag of Doritos?! It's there..they taste good...how can you say that you don't want any more?
(Well, we know why one wouldn't eat the entire bag--it causes you to gain loads and loads of weight!) |
My fiance is like this, we used to go buy pints of ice cream and he'd have just under a serving size. I couldn't stop and would eat the whole thing in one sitting. I guess that explains why I have nearly 100lbs left to lose and he only has around 20.

I was once that stick girl
I don't want to gross you guys out but when I was growing up I could go to a burger joint (In-N-Out in particular) and get TWO doubles doubles and TWO orders of fries AND a chocolate shake and down the entire thing without a care in the world. And I was a STICK! People would tell me all the time how lucky I was to be able to do that. I thought it was nice but I didn't realize just how nice it was until I hit the tail end of puberty and my metabolism slowed way down. In my sophomore year of high school I was 6'0 and 147 lbs. By the end of my senior year I was 167 and still gaining. I wish more than anything I could go back to the way things were so I could eat whatever I wanted. But then again, why would I want to stuff myself like a pig over and over everyday? Its a mental block that I had to come to realize. I can't do that to my body! I can't eat the same amount (or more) as my husband! That's more unhealthy! I totally understand everyone here when they try to think of what thin people eat, most of the time I just don't get it.
