I'm still thinking about this mess and I realize it would not be exactly EASY to gain so much weight. As hard as getting thinner is, I believe the struggle to grow obese would be very difficult as well. But in the opposite way. While getting thinner has to do with discipline and self-control, imagine how hard it might be to keep eating more and more with a goal weight in mind. Having to shove food down your throat even if you already feel uncomfortably, painfully full. Waking up the next morning (and I can definitely relate as a former binge eater) without an ounce of hunger, grossed out by food, and having to force yourself to eat as much as the day before.
Ugh. Sounds horrible.
Yeah. To me, being uncomfortably stuffed to the point of nausea is way worse than hunger pangs, and gross. With hunger pangs, calmly have something small and healthy and it's settled. What do you do with that bloated feeling? Pop a stomach pill and lay on your side groaning like a shot moose hoping you don't throw up or explode?
