One thing that I've never seen anyone talk about is ulcers. I've had them since I was in grade school, in the 70s and 80s. And I've always eaten to deal with the physical pain of the hunger as represented by the ulcers. It wasn't until high school that the doctors detected and diagnosed the ulcers, and my mom felt horribly bad because I'd always complained about my stomach pain and that I was hungry, and she asked if this is what I had always felt. Unfortunately, the doctors didn't actually cure the ulcers. They came back. But at least now we know what causes them, and I can hopefully get proper treatment for them, once I get other things like my blood pressure and kidney stones dealt with. But I am convinced that ulcers were at least a major contributor in my developing diabetes and obesity. I wonder how many other people who are overweight have also had to deal with ulcers, but may not have realized what was causing that pain, or why it went away with food?
