Is people being naturally skinny actually a thing? (hilariouschaos.com)

currently I’m on a weight loss journey meanwhile most of my highschool class are as skinny as they were senior year (some have blown up like balloons as well) I’m 26 now and I’ve seen classmates and they’re identical to when they were 17-18 years old. Is being “naturally skinny” actually a thing? As in do some people just naturally only consume 1,500 calories per day unconsciously? I know they aren’t working out

As someone that was a tall skinny guy until I was 40; it'll come for you, then you'll have to work at it. Now I bump off the top of normal BMI unless I pay serious attention to avoiding carbs. And I'm pretty active compared to most people, more active than when I was in my 30s.

IDK what happens, but it's like all those calories I used to take in from 2lbs of pasta would just disappear into thin air, now they hang around and weigh me down.

10 years ago people told me the same thing about getting 30, yet it still hasn't happened. Whether that day may come or not, I can just appreciate that I still get "Once you're old..." kinda stuff after 30. Feels good, actually.
