How To Create A Svelte Figure In 7 Easy Tips

By Marna Goldstein

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.

It might be, then again, it might not

We suspect that the skinny, skinny people must really work hard to stay skinny. We accuse them of eating rabbit food when we see them eating nothing but lettuce with no dressing and watch every tiny morsel that crosses their hips

There is a whole other group of thin people that make being thin look easy.

Many common character traits are shared by the naturally thin that help to maintain their svelte figures. Among the hundreds of naturally skinny people I've interviewed over the last 14 years, I've found seven secrets they have in common. If you can, try to identify with some of them. Also, see what changes you could easily make to become a naturally thin person with a svelte figure 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. The naturally thin don't diet. Its true. These naturally thin men and women would never think of dieting. Why, because they've never had to and never thought of themselves any other way, but skinny. When asking thin people if they worry about gaining weight, they most always say something to the voice of, no and when I ask why not? they say because I never have been overweight.

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. Socializing does not require the thin to eat. If they go to a picnic or other social event where food is served, and they aren't hungry, they don't mind standing around and talking without eating. If they ever get hungry, they will get a hot dog or a burger or something else to eat, but not until they are hungry. They go to enjoy visiting with family and friends, not merely to eat. Grazing isn't something they do.

5. Naturally thin people eat what they love. They would never think of eating celery sticks unless they were craving celery sticks. And when they are hungry, they eat food they crave. They never deprive themselves of something by saying no, I can't have that. They know they can eat anything they want when they are hungry. They don't say no to any food unless they are sensitive or allergic to specific foods.

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. Overeating is not something naturally thin people do. This group of individuals see no value in overeating. They know it saps their energy and causes their belles to protrude. Yuck! Overeating causes extreme discomfort and reinforces the negative feeling while keeping them from overeating. Overeating occurs less than two percent of the time in naturally thin people.

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.
