No. Itâs being taught from a young age good eating habits and having a keen awareness of your bodyďżź signals. Very rarely are people truly naturally skinny and can eat all they want and never gain weight.
Skinny people listen to their bodies.
I had a really tiny friend, 5â0 and 95 pounds. She never dieted, just naturally skinny. Thatâs what I thought.
But one day I slept over at her house and in the morning we had oatmeal. We each made a single serving pack. She commented on how much it was. She couldnât even finish a single serving. She stopped eating when she felt full which was half of it. Then she composted the other half.
Thatâs when I realized that ânaturally skinnyâ, doesnât really exist. To be tiny, you eat tiny. Skinny people just eat small without realizing it. You could say itâs skinny habits.
And if they eat a lot and stuff themselves, they almost naturally make up for it. Like if they eat way too much hanging out with friends, when they go home, they will barely eat for a day cuz they just arenât hungry.
âââ more examples from observing skinny friends at sleepovers or hangoutsâââ
- friend only ate half her bowl of noodles and composted other half, didnât even think twice. Then only ate a handful of popcorn while we watched movies.
- friend had a large meal and felt totally stuffed. Did not eat a single other thing for the rest of the night, or the next morning.
- a friend ate dinner before coming to a party and was full, he only ate a single sliver of cake at the party. Even though there was chips, fruit, candy.. etc. He didnât even think about more food cuz he was already full.
- got boba with friend and took her so long to finish. She wasnât trying to savor it or anything, she just eats slow.
- a friend picked and talked so much while eating. She was barely focusing on her food. She ate all the good parts and left a picked through mess on her plate and threw it away. She probably only ate a little more than half
