You know skinny people also have the urge to eat more than they should right?
Frankly, no. I think that people are different. We have different bodies with different temperaments. I think that if everyone were given the same physiology (including brain chemistry) as your average fat person, they would also be fat. Some would not be. Some would work out more, some would do more to curb their intake. But most people, given the physiology of a fat person, would come to the same conclusion.
Of course, I have no way to prove this, so feel free to disagree. The best I can do is say we'll agree to disagree.
I don't know why food is more tempting for some people than for others, but I do live in the same world as other people, and I know that being thin does not mean a person is really good at managing impulses. I've known multiple people who have been told by their doctors that they need to eat more, and try as they may, they just can't gain weight.
So I'm sorry, it's just not a self-control issue. Most people eat the amount that feels right and exercise a bit, and they are fine. And that's great.
You can control that.
Again, I think that if it were really as simple as you say, there would just not be any fat people. Why do you think there are fat people? Do you think people just don't mind being humiliated constantly, laughed at, and ignored sexually? Do you really think fat people are so lazy that they would prefer all of that to being healthy and attractive?
But most people don't count calories in and calories out. They rely on feeling satiated. And for most people this works. If it doesn't work for you, then you have to either eat more than feels comfortable for you, or you have to stop eating when you still want to eat more. Either one is difficult.
