    \n
  1. don’t crash diet<\/li>\n
  2. keep track of our weight<\/li>\n
  3. exercise regularly<\/li>\n
  4. don’t engage in emotional eating<\/li>\n
  5. stop eating when we’re full<\/li>\n
  6. don’t surround ourselves with temptation<\/li>\n
  7. allow ourselves treats<\/li>\n
  8. eat breakfast<\/li>\n
  9. move, stand and fidget more<\/li>\n
  10. don’t skip meals<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Not a bad list, overall…except none of these are\u00a0“secrets”,\u00a0nor are they\u00a0effortless <\/strong>– which is what makes the title so dumb.\u00a0 And I don’t like the word “thin” either.\u00a0 For one thing, I’m NOT thin…in fact, I weigh more now than I did when I was younger.\u00a0 Rather, I’m LEAN – my body fat is\u00a0considerably lower than your average,\u00a0normal weight\u00a0woman.<\/p>\n

    At any rate, the slideshow is worth a look, as it’s a pretty decent touchstone you can use to see where you might be coming up short.\u00a0 Even us “thin” people don’t score 100% – I’ve been known to work through meals at times, which is (ironically) why I sometimes have trouble keeping my weight UP where I think it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
