How Do Thin People Think?

element, and that is how we "think" we are.



When I explore the rationale of how thin people think, I discover some interesting behaviors. Thin people think about:



•Food portions



•How full they feel at each meal. They know when they can't take another bite and they stop eating



•How snug their clothes are fitting



•How they look in the mirror



•How they appear to others



•Exercising or doing something outside that is fun rather than doing something sedentary



•Parking further away from the store entrance for extra walking



•Taking the stairs rather than the elevator or escalator



•Drinking water rather than soft drinks



•Using sugar substitutes, protein supplements, and religiously taking their vitamins



•Eating fruit rather than potato chips for a snack



•Maintaining a "low-burdensome" weight for any EMT squad in case of an emergency



OH, how the list of concerns in the minds of thin people goes on and on! I bet you are thinking of a few right now!



I have to laugh when I think of one of my high-school friends who asked me everyday after school lunch if I wanted to go outside with her and "freeze off my calories"..... REALLY! She believed that shivering caused the burning of calories; so no matter if it was five degrees outside during a snow storm, she would march outdoors for a full five minutes and SHIVER her calories away! CRAZY, huh? Well, each time I see her at my class reunions, she is STILL the same slim gal she was way back when....so maybe she knew a thing or two about shivering off calories! Today the scientists call it "fidgeting", which has been proven to burn calories throughout the day. So when you tap that nervous foot, you are burning calories.



What we once viewed as odd obsessions by those who are thin, we should now view as having more value and importance, and we should incorporate some of their wisdom into our own daily lives so as we become slimmer and trimmer people, we will be thinking and acting like one too.



Thinking like a thin person everyday does not happen overnight. It is something that must be practiced continually.



Now of course, I would NEVER endorse the sad eating disorders that anorexic or bulimic people partake in, nor would I ever endorse or encourage starvation as some super-thin folks do to maintain that "waif" look. Such disorders are dangerous and have no part in thinking like a thin person! Such thinking and practices are warped and do not represent the norm.



They say that after the surgery, it takes the mind about three years to truly get used to the "new you." And I can vouch for that, as I am over three years post-op now and at times will forget I have lost so much weight as I find myself still inadvertently wandering in the Plus Size department! The scale and the label in the clothes may say one thing outwardly; but inwardly our mind hasn't totally been convinced we are thin.



Make some commitments today to begin changing your mindset. Observe the good practices of thin people and find a place in your life for those same good practices. Little by little you will become a thin person, both inside and out!
