Skinny people: How do you view food? ?!


Question: Skinny people: How do you view food!? !?
I'm not morbidly obese, but I'm not skinny either!.

I just want the skinny people to tell me -- what is your mindset about food!? Is there an emotional attachment!? Do you just view it as fuel!?

This is for the people who've never had a problem with food at all!. Who are naturally skinny!.!.!. it's just not an issue!.

(I can SORT of relate, because I come from a family of alcoholics, and I have no problem having just one beer/marguerita at a party and walking away!.!.!. and they don't get how I can do that!.!. and on the contrary, I don't get how people can get themselves drunk!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I view it the same way you do!.!. if it tastes good eat it, it's just that I have a faster metabolism than you do, so I digest food faster, its just genetics!. There are ways to speed up your metabolism by exercising and eating 4- 5 small meals a day instead of 3 big meals!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, I'm answering this because I used to be one of the skinny folk!. I loved food then and ate as much as I wanted whenever I wanted!. I was 105 when I got pregnant with my second child, and then I sort of, well, started bubbling!. I don't view food any differently!. I was a picky eater then because my mom really couldn't cook for anything!. Once I learned to cook, I was able to explore a little more!. I was naturally skinny!.!.!.now I'm naturally chunky!. It's all good :)!. (I was never one of those skinny folks who pinched my belly button and complained about being fat!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm very slim, I'm one of the lucky ones who can eat whatever they like and not have to worry!.

I'm a bit of a pig actually, I will eat a massive bag of chips in one sitting, have ice cream for breakfast, or take away several times a week, I don't fear food or only eat it when absolutely necessary, I just enjoy it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am a skinny person, but I am a runner/athlete!. I have a pretty fast metabolism!. You are pretty much right, for the most part I see food as fuel!. I eat fairly healthy, but I eat what I like, so a steak, some rice, and a salad is a great meal in my mind!. I eat a lot, but then I use tons of calories a day because I run, and weight-lift!. However, I see food as only food, and that helps me eat only what I need!. Sometimes though, when I am bored I will eat a snack unnecessarily, but usually it is a granola bar!. Yum!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I was a skinny scrawny little kid, I viewed it as what most people do!. Food!.
Now that I am older (not fat, average) I view it the same way!.

I've struggled losing weight forever, and last year I started eating brown bread instead of white and drinking water instead of coke and I lost 10 pounds!.!.!.and it continues!. My metabolism is basically at a point where I can eat my face off and not gain a pound!. Usually when I eat I just eat whatever I want but I'll feel bad afterward if I ate something high in fat or calories!. Other than that I don't think about it that much, my body just takes care of itself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
