And hunger is painful.
Hunger is something that is left to the patient to cope with -- usually badly. Sure there could be support groups and exercise groups, but nobody is going to be there in your bed when you're trying to fall asleep with hunger pains.
- stavros 2y agoThis thread is kind of painful because it's full of people who have no problem with their weight telling others to "just don't have a problem too!". I don't eat because I'm hungry. I eat because food is there, or because I remembered that food exists, or because I have nothing better to do, or because stuff tastes good. I can't remember the last time I was hungry. The weird thing is I can go a really long time without food. I can go 36 hours easily without eating something, hunger doesn't bother me at all. After 36 hours, I think "huh, I should probably eat something". Such situations where I forget to eat are really, really, really rare. I have to basically be on my own and working on something fun, because that's when I both don't have food in the house and don't want to spend the two minutes it takes to order something.
