Eat like a skinny person

Most people think fitness pros never have to worry about their weight. Not true. Both times I had babies I gained almost 70 pounds (not a typo), and I was bulimic for years, using unhealthy ways to lose weight as a teen and in college.
So because I love Doritos as much as the next person, I want to share one of the best tips anyone ever gave me:
Eat like a skinny person.
To me this means that before I eat anything, I should ask myself "Would a skinny person eat this?" The half pint of ice cream...would a S.P. eat it? Probably not, probably something more like a bowl full of berries. Coke with lunch? Prob not, maybe water, ice tea, or even diet coke. Fast food burger and fries? More like salad with grilled chicken and light dressing. Drench something in cheese? Doesn't sound like something a skinny person would do.
You get the idea...whatever the stereotypical skinny person in your mind wouldn't eat, you don't eat it either.
