You're Not Losing Fat Because You're Eating Too Damn Much (2016)
I weigh 350 pounds. I&#x27;m very obese. I know this.<p>When I was a teenager, I looked at people who weighed 300+ pounds and though, how do you get that way. Don&#x27;t you realize that you are gaining weight? Don&#x27;t you know that you just have to eat less to lose weight?<p>Anyway, now I realize that I am hungry. It never goes away unless I eat a significant amount of food. My body told me to eat, so I ate.<p>It doesn&#x27;t even take that much extra food to gain a lot of weight. One extra piece of cake a week is a few pounds in a year. If you live a few years, it adds up. You gain weight in kilograms and lose weight in grams.<p>Hunger is a sensation that happens inside a person&#x27;s body and mind. You cannot compare your hunger to my hunger.<p>So many diets talk about not being hungry while you are on the diet. I&#x27;ve been to dieticians and told them I&#x27;m hungry, and they suggest eating more protein or more fiber. That does help, but I still feel hungry.<p>There is a very good chance that someone is writing a reply with some suggestion as to how I should eat so that I&#x27;m not hungry. Thank you for the thoughts, but realize that you don&#x27;t live in my body, you don&#x27;t know how I feel, you don&#x27;t know what I&#x27;ve tried.<p>Hunger sounds like a problem to people. Hunger feels like a problem inside the body. People still tell me I shouldn&#x27;t be hungry. Maybe part of the solution is realizing that eating to satisfaction is ... bad for some people. Maybe it&#x27;s Ok to be a little hungry.<p>Anyway, these are just some thoughts. I&#x27;m down 30 pounds from my max. I think I have a good mentality now, but it took years to get here.
