I visit family in other states and I get comments like “I can’t believe you are so thin.” For context I am a healthy weight and I eat what I consider a reasonable diet. I sit and smile while I watch them drink soda and eat pure sugar and salt. I don’t care about your life choices but don’t act surprised by someone that’s a normal weight.

    Coloradans typically live a very active lifestyle. Outdoor recreation is a huge part of people’s lives. Therefore they’re moving a lot more and typically thinner

      Ok, but what makes them this way. All of their neighbors have above average obesity.

          Eating like a normal person doesn’t mean eating disorders. I just don’t eat a lot of sugar and I make fresh food.

          I physically feel bad when I eat to much junk. Healthy food makes you feel better as it doesn’t spike your sugar.
