Very revealing. For fat people, it's _never_ easier to be hungry! They
_will_ go out and find a place to eat. This reluctance on your part
alone may be sufficient to explain why you are not fat.

My free advice to people concerned about getting fat is to
quit thinking that it's terrible to feel hungry, and probably
also quit "couting calories" and other things that turn food
into something symbolic or an intermittent reward; like
instead of thinking about what you're supposed to eat and when
and how much, think about staying hungry as long as you can.

Not a bad idea. But a characteristic of fat people is that they cannot
tolerate hunger, nor does anything seem to distract them from hunger.
My extremely fat grandmother had to stop to eat several times a day,
whether she actually felt hungry or not, and no matter what she was
doing. No wonder she was extremely fat.

Then when you've been hungry long enough, eat whatever you
feel like eating.

Not a good idea. Fat people usually feel like eating a great deal.
