Of course, the problem with an appetite-curbing injection is that in my experience many people, especially those with certain types of disordered eating, will eat quantities that aren't directly related to how hungry they are, or will even eat just because something tastes or looks or smells good. (It'd be interesting to provide these ghrelin rats, the ones being fed the lo-cal lo-energy diet, with some particularly nice fattening morsels as an alternative foodstuff and see if they still lost weight.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1154998164351994572006-08-07T17:49:00.000-07:002006-08-07T17:49:00.000-07:00"The one thing I would really miss about being fat..."The one thing I would really miss about being fat is that it's like having a built-in asshole detector.

It amazes me how I never got tired of it. Sometimes it was the result of an alien experiment, sometimes I somehow managed to pee the fat off or unzip it and remove it - sometimes I spent all night running in my sleep and sometimes it just randomly happened. I agree w/Denise - I'd like to have all that time back. I swear to god, women would rule the world if we could stop thinking about our asses.<BR/><BR/>So anyway, yeah - I'd totally go for the 'wake up thin' deal, as long as it could happen by magic and come with no bad side effects.

I find the opposite to be true. I am very small and usually can only find sizes that are 6 and above. I realize a size six is not big at all, but actually more often I find 12's and 16's.

While I gained weight on the famous Pizza & Burgers Diet, for the last several years I've made huge strides in eating healthier, I stopped drinking (lots of calories there) and I even exercise regularly. It's kept me relatively healthy but I don't lose weight.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I've got a nice doctor right now, but he has no medical advice to give me.
