I had an intersting conversation in another NG. The usual "but some fat
people can't help it" thing came up

When I found myself eating "food products" containing refined sugar,
flour, colorings and other additives, then the phrase "but some fat
people can't help it" definitely applied!

Yes, I *did* choose to put the food in my mouth, but it was such a
driving force, and I felt like I would *die* if I did not eat more
and more until filled. When I cleaned up my food regime 100%, and
completely took those offending ingredients out, eating less was
EASY and painless.

Many people see that as "fooling" my body into eating less. I see it
the other way around. The offending ingredients were fooling my
body into thinking I needed MORE. Without them, I could see entirely
that I was indeed eating less, and I was happy that I was a) noticing
it and b) not hungry all the damn time.
