And stays skinny/lean/healthy.

The ones I've personally observed are either very tall, don't eat very often so you watch them pig out when you see them eat with you, exercise a lot, play sports, or basicall I would just admit that I didn't see enough of their day to accurately get an idea of what they "really" do.

So in almost every case something's covered on eat less, move more.

    Eh. I was that friend for most of my life. I ate a lot and I ate junk and I didn't do much in the way of formal exercise and I am not tall.

    I got old and my metabolic rate slowed down and here I am.

    Actually, I do have a friend that is tall and thin, never exercises and coke is (or at least was) a staple in her diet.... she is super skinny and she eats like a teenage athletic boy!


    But I still :heart: her 'cause she is effing awesome!


    ETA: Hahaha... I forget that there are other people outside of Texas where we call all soda's "coke" so yes, I meant coca-cola... :laugh:

    I have never met that person. Everyone that I know who eats whatever they want is a fatty.

    I had a friend like that. She used to only eat a couple of meals a day and was always on the go. Now that she eats more often and moves less she has gained weight. I always thought she was just lucky to be naturally skinny until I realized she ate less than me and was more active than me.

    ^This

    My family have been going crazy since I came here. They in the start used to make comments like "I thought you wanted to lose weight, why are you eating ice cream!?!?!" and now the comments have changed to "how are you eating ice cream and so much food and losing weight?!?!"

    I don't pay attention to what my friends eat or how active they are. That would take time away from obsessing over my own food and exercise. Duh.

    Gingers = scary. You should have just forfeited.

    I got a husband like that, 5'64 and weighing 128 lbs. If I eat what he would, I would be over 300 lbs in no time. But I can't be bothered by it. He can eat his crisps, his candy, drink his beer, etc. It doesn't even make me lift an eyebrow. I got my own food and snacks I enjoy just as much and I know what I am doing it for!

    My husband eats massive portions, loads of sweets etc but he's always been into sports and fitness so he's always just burned it off.

    My problem was going along with the eating without doing any of the burning! :laugh: I'm working on it.
