Anyone who's been thin or normal weight range

A. Do you keep that way for your image or looks?
Be honest.

B. Or is it for health reasons and to stay healthy overall?

C. Or have you essentially never craved extra food and it just came naturally to be thin or normal weight?

I stay slim for looks (and to fit into my clothes) and to keep my husband interested 😉, for my health, because I need the cathartic release intense exercise provides for my PTSD, and ... unless it's a piece of buttermilk pie, I usually don't allow myself any indulgences with food.

@TexChik You don't enjoy a fried chicken occasionally or nachos?

@TexChik I can't give up occasional treats but I'm cutting calories a bit more overall..it's hard maintaining it ugh. But I'm really determined to.

@Coralmist I eat grilled chicken all the time. I had a few chips with hot sauce and a margarita waiting for my chicken fajita chimichanga at lunch. I had guac instead of beans or rice. I am pretty full still. Tonight, if I eat anything, maybe a half apple. I do incremental fasting out of habit. Who knew it was good for you too?

@TexChik Exactly, eating healthy is good but life without a couple treats is not life lol

@Coralmist Eating healthier and taking a walk around the block is really all you need to do...plus lots of water.
