Vent: Ppl who can eat anything and not gain weight

OtiWanKenobi

I'm a hater, I know. Super jealous!!!

**FYI - Our office is infamous for having junk food available, especially during the holidays. Also, the food is also almost always laid out near my desk. I've worked very hard at not falling into temptation to the point where I don't even think about it.

So...... there's a box of munchkins at the desk next to mine...one particular young lady I work with, I have seen her near my desk eat at least 5 this morning. As well as eat doritos, holiday salami and cheese...etc. All before 12pm! She eats like this a lot...especially now with all the food in the office. She barely weighs 100 lbs and looks amazing. WTH!!!! Damn genetics. :-/

Ok...done venting. Thanks for listening.

it's how much of the "anything" that's the deal...we all can eat "anything" and not gain weight if we don't eat too much of the anything...

Gee thanks! Duh!

Even if that's all the "anything" she eats which could possibly be say (500 cals/day)...still makes me jealous. I can't survive on little calories.

I'm usually good about not being...I usually could care less. I dunno what set me off....I guess cuz I seen her at near my desk like 10 times to grab food.

Perhaps she lifts heavy and is able to eat a lot of calories as a result?

Same thing happens where I work. Meanwhile, I smell a donut and gain 4 pounds.

No, I mean I was the person who could eat anything and not gain.

Without exercise, I was eating about 3,000 calories a day, I would estimate, and was teeny. At about 28, I couldn't do that anymore.

Sure feels that way!

No...she does workout though. She does Zumba a couple times a week.

People probably think that about me, which is awesome. I secretly work my butt off so I am able to eat "anything".

osualex

Ehhh...I have friends who say they can eat "anything" and not gain...their anything is a lot less than mine was when I was heavier.

The only time in my life where I ate anything without consequence to my weight was high school, and I think that was only due to the amount of sports I played. I'd eat full meals 5 times a day and still look good...I miss that.

Ah! Gotcha. I guess it all catches up somehow...

you rang?

yup I am 32 and I can eat what ever I like... :drinker:

Worry about yourself and not other people
Don't worry about what she is eating, it's really of no consequence to you whatsover.

taso42

There isn't anything magic about her genetics that lets her eat anything and not gain weight. She is simply able to regular her food intake. I can guarantee you that on average, she is consuming somewhere around her TDEE, and that is why her weight stays constant.

So you can damn her genetics for giving her the ability to self-regulate. But don't believe that she can "eat anything". Nobody is immune to the laws of the physical universe.

kmorg22

I use to be that way and eat what I want.... was they called it "itty bitty with a big ol' booty". yea well...it caught at about 26 with the first baby. lol now I have to work for it. lol but i still eat what I want I cant stand diets and feeling bad about eating something. I think the stress of worrying about something making me fat makes me fatter than I would have been from the donut.

But genetics an affect TDEE.

But genetics an affect TDEE.

Maybe so, but it's to a negligible degree. Given two people of roughly identical size, body composition, and activity level, the one with a "higher metabolism" might be burning something like 50-100 calories more a day. It's not some huge difference.

Look up the twins study regarding brown fat.

I like to believe that age will eventually catch up with them...

My husband was the same way. Fkr ate everything and did nothing and stayed lean as a rail. Whatever. Then he hit his 30s, got a desk job, and wellllllll....he's working his tail off NOW to get rid of the love handles that appeared out of no where.

your answer is the same as saying "because"!

not a myth. But if that is how you feel...:drinker:

Same...until about 35ish.

(I guess still somewhat true though w/ a TDEE of somewhere around 2500-2700+ though.)

yesterday I ate a breakfast burrito, triple cheeseburger, chocolate shake, another double cheeseburger, fries, tons of soda, and a huge late night weigh gainer shake.... 5100 Calories or so.

Today I will be leaner than yesterday. mmmm life is good.

Ha! Me too. When I was 28 the most I had ever weighed was 115, I ate whatever I wanted and I never exercised...then suddenly it was like as soon as I turned 30 it all caught up with me.

purpleipod

I used to get jealous of people that could eat absolutely everything and never gain weight. I've realized the older I've gotten though, if I let that consume me all it does is make me feel worse about myself. I still think it's unfair, but you're wasting your time worrying that much about other peoples eating/exercise habits and letting yourself get that bothered by it. My body doesn't allow me to do that, and it never will, so I have to just deal with what I was given.
