Damn I wish, I’m more like:
Body: I’m hungry
Brain: but I just ate a child sized burrito
Body: don’t care, want more
Brain: yeah you’re right, we should probably eat some more
Genuinely, what got me out of such feelings was to not eat for a day or two a few times (not in a row).
Learning the difference between real hunger and “stomach is just empty” made a BIG difference. I can basically ignore first-world hunger now without even trying. Also probably omeprasole helped, since a highly acidic stomach sucks and can turn normal hunger pains in to nasty heartburn that only certain foods can quench.
At the moment eating a lot is very advantagous to me, I know a couple of people who are way too skinny because they do tons of exercise and don’t eat enough. And some who will just chug some olive oil because calories. But I’m a healthy weight and I get to eat all the time, I’d say it’s a good position to be in.
I basically never felt satiated from eating, nor did my brain tell me what nutrients I needed. Nowadays, I will literally not be hungry for certain types of food while craving others.
For example, I used to eat an excess of greasy or unhealthy food in order to feel full (satisfy my nutrient requirements). If I tried that now on estrogen, I would not even want to eat most of the greasy food. I feel queazy at the thought of eating cake if I had any sugar that day, or of eating a burger two days in a row. I instead crave unprocessed vegetables or fruit. It’s like my brain actually communicates what my body needs for the first time in my life.

I’ve been more in this camp for most of my life. I have no solutions, the only thing that worked for me was HRT.
Just need a little bit of gender fluid to make things right lol
Interesting, how does the HRT help? Like this?
