Naturally Thin: Myth or Fact?

Is it really true that some people can eat as much as they want and never gain weight?  Is it true that they have faster metabolisms than heavier people?  Perhaps you know someone like this; a person who loves to eat and doesn’t measure, weigh, or calculate anything they put into their mouth.  They don’t even have to think about it and they maintain a perfect, healthy body weight.  Perhaps they trigger a wave of jealousy within you as they say, over and over again, “I can eat anything I want.”

You may be interested to know that these people don’t have anything that you don’t have.  They aren’t using magical means to stay thin - but rather they are usually DOING things differently than a person who struggles with weight.

They have deeply ingrained habits that prevent them from gaining weight - just like you and others may have deeply ingrained habits that make you more likely to gain weight.

What kind of habits would make a person be “naturally thin”? There are many, but some of the most obvious are:

- Loving your body. - Trusting your intuition. - Eating when hungry, stopping when satisfied. - Being spiritually connected. - Being confident about your body, rather than ashamed of it.

Habits like these help keep you balanced, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically.  Compare that to a person who hates their body and constantly feels like they are engaged in a battle against it.  Compare that to a person who believes they can’t be trusted to eat sensibly and must follow a strict diet to keep themselves under control.  Compare that to a person who loves food but won’t allow themselves to enjoy it.

Naturally thin people simply have a healthier relationship with food, and with their own bodies.  They have learned how to enjoy food without overindulging.  They have learned how to be friends with their bodies, rather than hating them.  If you start applying these same habits in your own life, you will naturally transition to become one of these naturally thin people too.

Don’t try to change all of your habits overnight, however.  Commit to start working on them one at a time until you have completely changed the way you eat and live.  Then one day you’ll hear yourself saying, “I used to struggle with my weight, but not anymore.”
