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.

I'm a 100 pound they who's always - always - had trouble eating past the full feeling.

Like to me. Eating 'one more bite' past being full is worse then going to the gym and putting 20 extra pounds on.

Exceptions happen for holidays where we graze all day on many different foods. Variety being the spice of life n all.

But if it's a 3 course meal. I'll eat until I'm full. Pack it away. And eat later.

All you can eat places are completely wasted on me.

Sometimes with North America potions I get meals out of a 20/40$ take out.

Something that stood out to me in the post is the part about "even if they're eating something delicious..." The reason why we stop when we're full is that food stops being delicious when we're full. I'm not sitting around with half a pizza in my gut thinking about how delicious another slice would be, I'm thinking about what a chore it would be to choke down another slice.

That happens to me very quickly with most foods. Even addictive snacks that other people can finish a whole bag of I find tedious to eat more then a hand full of.

A really good dessert that isn't to rich and sugary can manage to get me to eat till I'm regretting.
