Anyone else feel that even at 50 pounds plus overweight, you have been holding back? I know I have portion control problems and a fondness for fast food, but I feel like visually it appears that I must have REALLY been enjoying myself with gallons of ice cream and a spoon on the sofa, and that is just not the case. I am not blaming hormones or a sluggish metabolism, but I do feel like the desire to overeat must have some biological roots. I know I could EASILY be so much bigger with very little effort and that is just frightening. I am aware we aren’t all the same and life isn’t fair.  I am losing weight and exercising-maybe I underestimate how restrictive normal weight women have to be with their daily intake? [/quote]

I eat healthy foods.  I don't gorge on ice cream and cake and stuff like that.  But portion control doesn't even happen.  It does now because I'm dieting.  But before that, I ate for pleasure, stuff tastes good!  I want to keep feeling good!   So for me, it's behavior.

Having said all of that, for people who have to lose a significant amount of weight, once they attain their goal, they have to eat about 300 fewer calories a day than a person of the same weight who has never had a weight problem.  So yeah, we will always be eating less than our normal-weight friends and family.  And that sucks.  [/quote]
