[quote=Anonymous]I saw a VERY DEPRESSING HBO documentary about weight (I think called the Weight of the Nation). Here's the fact: If you have been overweight, even if you REACH your goal weight, you will not be able to eat as many calories as someone who was always at that goal weight (assume same gender, height). You will forever have to eat less calories. They say that for 2 women the same height and weight, the woman who used to be overweight will have to eat 20% less calories to maintain the same weight. And they think this is not temporary. It doesn't go away. Your body forever wants to go back to the old weight. I was overweight and I feel like this is true. I just have to eat less and do more exercise...forever. I can't ever just be relaxed like a normally thin person. The reason I think formerly fat people think all the time about food is that they literally are hungrier...for good reason![/quote]
