>What people who aren't fat do is intellectually recognize that "I could eat forever" feeling, and don't fall for it. That's where the willpower comes into play. This isn't how it is for me. Of course I've had the "I could eat forever, so let's not" thoughts before, but only in certain contexts like if I'm at a buffet dinner. Ordinarily I just get full and then stop. No mental pep-talk needed. I've noticed in these discussions, people think how it is for them is how it is for everyone else. They use the same words to mean different things. Look carefully through all the comments here and you'll see that "full" seems to have very different meanings to different people. "Willpower" is another one. Nobody can give an objective meaning to these terms, or it doesn't even enter their minds that they might need to, because "obviously" everyone else experiences the world in the same way. It's like the blind men of Indostan.
