I belive the difference between naturally slim people and overweight people is simple - slim people seem to approach food with an attitude of 'ill have some more later, i have had enough for now'
- overweight people seem to approach food more like - I better eat lots now, I might now get more later, even though rationaly we know we will.
Since I have had my kids I have been around babies a lot and I have noticed a similar trend in babies, most eat what they want, then stop - but some get very anxious when food is offered and then taken away, or if they are given half a banana they cry for the other half even before they have started the first half, now these babies do tend to be on the chubby side - but so are most babies before they walk. It would be interesting to follow them and see if it continues into childhood etc or is just a baby thing. Maybe some people are born with this instinct and it causes them to be overweight ????
