Said to me recently. I accept the complement!
But, hah! It's because I worry about my weight!

It is a complement! Congratulations! I once read that there are very few, if any, naturally thin people. They are thin because they work to stay fit and healthy!

A few years back, we celebrated my mother's 80th birthday on Thanksgiving. I'll never forget someone looking at my mother's plate and wishing she had Mom's "metabolism." But Mom's lack of fat has nothing to do with metabolism - she PREFERS lower calorie, nutrient dense, high fiber foods, CHOOSES to be super active, and is often too disorganized or busy to eat, and generally struggles to fuel her activity level.4

People who didn't know me when I was overweight have said to me..."You're thin, you can eat as much as you want!"
Uh, no, I'm "thin" because I DON'T eat as much as want anymore.15
