Today I came across an interesting article in Huffpost by Scott Mowbray called “Who’s thin and why.” In his theory there are two skinny types of people. The first type that he calls “the congenitals”, naturally and unconsciously eat just enough to maintain their weight, and keep their body composition on the thin side. The second type “the habituals” are those of us that have to apply their conscious will power on a daily basis, and every time we sit down to eat, in order to maintain a healthy weight.

What about the third type of people that doesn’t fit in either of those 2 previous categories? The type of people that wishes secretly or openly to have the genetics to be naturally thin or the motivation and will power to achieve their goal. What label should we give those people? What about  “passive complainers” ? 

If you happen to fall into the third category, it still doesn’t mean that things can’t change for you. While there is a very little to no chance to change your DNA, you can still turn into the hardworking and super motivated type at any point of your life. As a matter of fact, you can decide right now that you will commit to daily exercise, healthy diet, and smaller portion sizes. 

If that doesn’t work for you, then you could still join the fourth type of people that just don’t give a rats butt about their body composition or fitness alone. These people also never complain because they maintain their confidence by just being simply brilliant people and their focus is usually based around mental rather than physical activities.

Whatever type you may be today, does not indicate what kind of person you’ll be tomorrow, and the most important thing is to be happy with who you are. That said, do not be a passive complainer, because that is literally the worse thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you.  Take an action today and show the world who you really are.

All the best,
