What the Thin Person Knows about Food
When we experience a problem, we often seek out an expert for advice, don’t we. When our car breaks down, we ask a mechanic to fix it. When we want to draw up a will, we find a lawyer specializing in this type of work. So when we require help with an overweight problem, where do we go to help solve the weight issue? A psychotherapist, experts of a dieting plan, or, perhaps, a fitness center. But maybe there is expert advice to be gleaned from the “thin person”.
What do I mean by the “thin” person and what lessons can we learn to help with an overweight problem? “Thin” people are individuals who have never had a weight issue; whose weight has stayed relatively stable throughout their lives.
I propose that a “thin” person thinks about food in a very different way from the overweight person. Thin people tend to eat exactly the foods they want, in the quantities they want. And when they are satisfied, they stop. Thin people don’t think about food all the time; they may even need to be reminded that it is time to eat!
When you offer “thin” people food when they are full, they will turn you down. If you suggest that they “clean their plate”, they will look at you strangely and inform you they cannot eat another bite. Tell a “thin” person that you have broken your diet, and you want to binge on non-diet foods for the rest of the day - they will be perplexed.
My husband Bob is a “thin” person. He is a “thin” person who not only has been unconditionally loving and supportive of me as I have struggled with weight issues, but also has inspired me to eat like a “normal” person. He also happens to have written The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health. We are teaming up to offer you the Diet Free Now Program. It is our opportunity to pool our expertise, our talents and our partnership to help women find freedom around dieting, body image and weight issues. We’ll keep you posted!
