For some reason, I try to think that maintaining weight and losing weight should be natural, easy, intuitive, and a breeze. Then every time I start to lose weight, I realize it does take work. And I especially realize that when I start to watch other thin people around me. They do things like order the salad or soup and then only eat about half of it. That is a total foreign concept to me. Now, it may come naturally to them, but I am not them. And I am judging their actions and making assumptions about their thoughts. For all I know, it might be just as hard for them as it is for me.
