You have a valid point. The balance a healthy body has, is that the appetite is governed by the number of calories the body believes it needs.

When a person gets obese, this balance is thrown out of kilter; a fat person is ALWAYS hungry. No matter how much he consumes, in an hour his body is telling him that he is hungry. Hunger is not a fun, enjoyable sensation; yet for the fat person, hunger pains are real, and they are far more frequent than in a thin person.

Ask anyone you know who was obese and lost the weight. They will tell you how amazing it is that they can survive on the amount of food they now consume; and that when they were ‘big’ they were hungry all of the time.

It’s a problem that is metabolic, it’s genetic, it’s psychological and it’s physical. No obese person likes being obese, I doubt you’ll find one person in the US population that is obese that doesn’t wish they were thin.

Interesting that you use the word hunger pains. I know exactly what you mean, they hurt! However, I recently asked my thin husband and son if they felt pain when they were hungry, and both said no. I found that fascinating. It would be far easier to eat less if there weren’t hunger pains.
