Summary
You have been told that hunger is weakness, that managing your appetite is a matter of discipline, that wanting food is a problem to override. None of that is true — and believing it has kept you in a war with your own body you were never supposed to be fighting. Your appetite isn't a willpower problem — it's a hormonal signaling problem.
