    i've been there. my little brother... after a night of trick or treating, he ate his 5 lbs of candy in the pillow case, 2 12pack of mtn dew, then went at got a 10 lb bag of gummie bears, didnt gain an ounce. but, lifes not fair, and some naturaly thin people battle with their weight too. my brother was always picked on for being too skinny and it wasn't cool. i was jealus of the fact that if i looked at something id gain and he'd lose, but that was just a bit childish on my part. we're all the same on here, but for us that got to watch what we eat and work out, and become healthy and thin (er) theres that satisfaction that you earned it. i loved it th first time i lost., and my husbands naturally thin, and im getting back down. he's very supportive, but like my brother, he wants to weigh more. 220. he can eat anything and not gain and it upsets him sometimes.

    My husband is one of those people who can eat whatever he wants and doesn't gain weight! Yes, it's not fair, but it's life, so guess we just got make the best of it and go from there!

    Everyone I know that is "skinny" is so out of shape they can barely work out for more than 30 minutes. I would not trade being skinny for having to work my *kitten* off for it! It keeps me healthy and fit.

    I have always worked hard to stay within what my body considers thin (which is at about 160 or I start to get sick). After my twins, Depo, cervical cancer, and menopause I gained a ton of weight. My bestie (RIP Joanna), was 5'10 and 115 pounds soaking wet. She could eat and eat and eat and not gain an ounce. Yes, I was jealous...very jealous. If I even looked at food I'd gain 5 pounds. While she was strikingly gorgeous, her weight made it hard for her to have children, and that sent her into a very deep depression (especially after I had my twins).

    I learned that being thin or thick isn't all there is.

    Yes I'd like to lose some of this belly roll and fit into some skinny jeans, but I still feel sexy and I feel healthy.

    A lot of skinny people, even those you have always known skinny, work bloomin' hard at it. The skinny women at my school eat little and, in the main, exercise a lot. Some even boast they can 'eat anything' although they don't seem to notice their portion sizes are minuscule, or that they just exercised for an hour!

    I'm not skinny, but I suspect I'm meant to be! It takes between 2300-2500 calories for me to maintain my weight as it is, so I suspect I really am designed to be a little lighter. If I actually exercised I hate to think how much I'd have to eat :laugh:
