Thinking thin

OK I am not thin,but I am thinking it
Since I am not a thin person and haven't been for a long time I ran across a video by Dr. Oz who is a thin person and he gave the following 7 habits.

7 habits of thin people
Exercise in the morning *
Smaller meals in the day (not three but more) *
Eat slower *
Eat breakfast
Monitors of their health – journal
Fitness hobbies
Drink water – generous amount

The first three I do not do on a regular basis. I just read though that exercising when you can is what counts. I have always eaten to fast and I know if you eat slower it gives your brain time to tell you your stomach is full. Smaller meals would work and I have improved on portion size. Is there more to the idea of early work or exercise gives a better lifestyle to be thin? So 6 of the points I have accounted for. Can I learn to eat slower? In the last five years Barb and I have traded fat for taste. Could enjoying what I eat change the focus of food to taste rather than amount. Learning to think in moderation and be thankful (enjoy what is eaten and with whom) may be what thinner people do?
From Cooper Aerobics comes  reminder to stay hydrated this summer. While water can come from coffee, tea, soft drinks and food, water remains the best source to keep hydrated. Water 8-12 oz. can immediately improve our blood circulation. This helps our heart, brain, digestion and everything else. Water can improve our skin. Drinking water when you are hungry can help you eat healthier portions. Water can energize you around 2 in the afternoon. Drinking, eating (food has water) 8 glasses a day. Read the article yourself http://cooperaerobics.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/stay-hydrated-this-summer/ .
I was out today for a walk chasing home run balls in the cornfield at my son's game and was reminded how much we sweat on hot days. Drinking  water helps you to stay in an activity healthful. Indoor walking is also great on these days. My aerobic walk today was indoors and a upper body workout.
Today I am thinking thin. Keep walking
