It took time for her to develop it I think, she used to always complain that if she ate to much shed be fat, etc...
I really really don't understand why people can't just eat a normal 3 meals a day and do some excercise, like jogging for a good 30 minutes a day...
Oh well

It's more complicated than that Famine. Some people really do have sloww metabolisms, and a higher predisposition to obesity. Read about it in arnold schwarzennegers bodybuilding encyclopedia.
He mentions three different physical someotypoes all possessing varying characteristics.
ECTMORPH-thin lanky, lean enlongonated bone structure--cannot put weight on easily. Even if they eat like a pig.
MESOMORPH- muscular--naturally so even without weights, athletic and jock like, has ability to develop decent muscular definition with moderate workouts.
ENDOMOROPH--rhick neck, heavy bone structure, oversix=zed bone steuctue ven blocky looking, cannot develop mkuscular defintion easily even if dieting and exercising in conjunction.Often endomorpohs may even have hypothyroidism.
The problwm with american culture is the diet fitness induistry--the mass media, and the netertainment industry emphasizing beauty
constantly, and overarting it.
All female models are ectomorpohs, and all male models are mesomorphs. Everyone idolizes these people too much. 70% of what you look like is probably predetermined through genetics. So unfortunately famine---eating three square meals a day, and taking a thirty minute jog may not be the anser for everyone.
Alos its important to note that men have a higher distribuition of muscle across their bodies which makes them less prone to weight gain because the more muscle composiiton you have the faster yoir metabolism runs, and the faster your body uses up calories during aerobic exercise. But women don't have thr same level of muscle composition, so they should probably do some weight lifting in combination with an aerobic exerise regimen, and a moderate sane diet for best results.(nothing overboard eat at least 1200-1500 calores a day and cut out the empty calories from junkfood and fast food. But most importantly be patient anything worht having is woorth being patient for. This crap were people eat 200 calories a day or forgoe eating altogether is dangerous to your health.
In a perect world ideally everyone would embody these traits,personally I think evryone would be happier, and everyone could stop competing in relationships and sexually as well, but this isn't a perfect flawless world unfortunately.
