This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Exactly. If you're still hungry after eating, then you're starving yourself.
The point is to eat until you're satisfied, not until you're completely full. If you have a difficult time determining when that point is, count calories for a week or two until you figure it out. I consume an average of 2300 calories a day. That's a lot of food—about two large meals a day (or one large meal + constant snacking throughout the day)—but I'm still losing about half a kilogram (1.1lb) per week on average. All because I'm burning more than I eat. And I barely even work out.
Or leptin insensitivity
Never heard of it, thanks for sharing. I can't comment on hunger but anything over 1-2% body weight per month is going to be absolutely brutal even for a leptin-normal person. Unless this person weighs 250-500 kg that will be impossible to adhere to and they will fall into a cycle of shame and rebound weight gain. Please don't do that to yourself, be gentle.
