I can't help but notice that thin people don't spend their lives balancing a house of cards that is their relationship with their thin body and wishing for a fat one. Thin people don't crack every so often and go on a brief surge of gaining weight only to give up and stay thin. Thin people don't have a movement devoted to learning to love themselves while thin and reject the notion that they should be fat. Thin people don't spend their lives trying to gain weight with fad diets in futility. Thin people don't whine daily about how miserable it is to be thin. It's almost like one is categorically better than the other.

You know this is a really interesting point you make. Nobody's inherently fat or thin. There are fat people who lose weight and become (and stay) thin. There are people who where once thin and spend the rest of their lives as fat. There are people who go through fat and thin "phases". There are people who do neither.

What makes you a thin person, in both body and mind, is the attitude you just described. It's a kind of default. You just don't busy yourself with food and that's exactly why it's not a problem.
