So, this is what it feels like to be naturally thin
I've always believed that the main difference between those we call "naturally thin" and someone like me is mindset---i.e., they simply don't desire food as much as I do. My husband, who has never had any weight problem, will most often just skip lunch because he doesn't want to bother making it; I would never do that.
Well, the last few days I've had a cold, and one side effect of the medication I'm taking is that it suppresses the appetite. For the past few days, I literally have no interest in food, no particular cravings, etc. I couldn't even bring myself to have lunch yesterday. Even when my stomach started to growl around 4:30-5:00, I registered that I was physically hungry, but I didn't feel that desperate desire for food as I normally would. This has really given me some insight into how it must feel to be a "naturally" thin person. It seems to be no struggle at all to resist food. I wish I could be like this all the time!
