[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you have to be hungry all the time to be thin. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or has never had a weight problem.[/quote]

This is wrong. Humans are not meant to be full all the time. If you’ve been conditioned to eat til you are full and believe that any sensation less than complete fullness is equivalent to Being Hungry All The Time - that is simply part of your conditioning. It’s a lot of the reason that most overweight people remain overweight, or lose the weight and gain it all back through yo yo dieting. Once you change your mindset everything is possible. [/quote]

+1. I am thin but don't diet or calorie restrict. But I'm hungry every day. Not all day but several times a day. I eat foods I enjoy and that sate my hunger but I don't eat them continuously to avoid hunger.

Right now I'm hungry. I'm about to eat breakfast but I'm probably going to intentionally eat something that doesn't totally fill me up because I want to work out this morning and don't want to be stuffed. I will my eat a really filling meal until dinner (bread and pasta with meat sauce) so I'll probably be a little hungry all day. Even when I eat dinner I won't have a huge serving because the food is so inherently filling so a small bowl of pasta and a slice of bread with butter will be plenty. I'll wake up hungry again tomorrow.

I don't think any of this is disordered. It's just life. I don't want to be stuffed. Food is fuel to get me through the day and I like it to taste good and be enjoyable. But I rarely feel completely full because I don't really like that feeling and don't really see the point. I'll eat again in a few hours. It's NBD.[/quote]
