How To Create A Svelte Figure In 7 Easy Tips
Skinny people intrigue everyone. What has it taken them to get that figure, or is it simply the result of lucky jeans? Er, I mean genes People wonder if the skinny just got lucky or if they have to work really hard to stay thin.
Well, yes, and no
The unnaturally thin work extremely hard at staying thin. They are the ones downing lettuce without dressing and watching every single food item that crosses their lips.
There is a whole other group of thin people that make being thin look easy.
Those that are naturally thin have many character traits in common to maintain their svelte figures. Here are seven secrets that I found after interviewing hundreds of naturally thin people over the course of 14 years. See if you can identify with any of them. See where you could make some natural shifts easily so that you can be a naturally thin person too.
1. These people have thin thinking. They know they can stay thin forever and make comments like I’m little, or I’m not going to be able to eat all of that. Their self talk is different than others. Their actions to circumstances and events are different. Food is not their placebo when a pet dies or they have to do something unpleasant. To them food is just food. It may taste good, they enjoy eating it, but it isn’t there for anything but to be used as fuel for their bodies.
2. Naturally thin people do not diet. True Story. They would never ever think of dieting. If asked why, their response is that they’ve never thought of themselves as anything but skinny so they’ve never had to diet. During my many years of research one question I asked every thin person if they had ever been concerned about gaining weight and their response was always no. When I asked why not, the would tell me I’ve never been heavy or over weight
3. The naturally thin don’t mix emotions and food. If the thin are sad, they cry or call a friend. If they are angry, they go work out or punch their pillows. There is little to no crossover between emotions and eating. It simply doesn’t make sense to them. The only reason food is ever thought of is because they get hungry – that’s it. If they are not hungry, but sad – they will deal with their sadness. Dealing with emotions in an emotional way is commonplace for this thin group.
4. The naturally thin can be social without eating. If the thin are invited to a bbq and they aren’t hungry, they have no problem standing around not eating. If and when they get hungry, they will gladly grab a dog or burger, but not until then. They go to a bbq to enjoy the company of friends and family. Grazing for the simple act of grazing is not an option.
5. Being naturally thin means eating what a person loves. It doesn’t mean eating celery sticks if they aren’t craving celery sticks. Eating foods they crave takes place when they are hungry. They would never think of not eating something or saying no, that isn’t good for me unless of course there is some allergy or sensitivity to the food. Thin people know they can eat whatever they want should they be hungry.
6. Mindless eating to numb the senses is something thin people don’t do. They are always conscious of the effect that what they are eating has on their bodies. You would never find them at the theater with their hand in the bottom of an almost empty popcorn bucket wondering if they ate it all. Thin people know how hungry they are before they sit down to a meal and how full they are while or after they finish eating.. They are ignorant about diets, calories and other aspects of food.
7. These thin people never overeat. They are appalled by overeating. They know it sucks their energy and bloats their stomachs. Yekk, the extreme discomfort prevents them from repeating the experience and reinforces the negative aspect of overeating. Average naturally thin people overeat less than two percent of the time.
Can you see the difference in their actions and mindset?
So, these thin people don’t depend on genetics, luck or the quality or type of food they eat. They eat differently than others – what they eat, when they eat, their freedom to choose any type of food and they have a different connection with their bodies.
So, now that you know all this, if you are considering losing weight, there is no time like the present and dieting isn’t necessary as the naturally thin don’t.
