No one asks the skinny one, especially if you have been skinny most or all of your life, because — while you “struggle with food”, and your struggles are valid — struggling to remain skinny while other people fight severe obesity is not comparable.

The science has shown that while it IS “calorie in — calorie out”, the way people bodies absorb, store, and respond to calories — as well as how they respond to calorie restriction — varies dramatically. While one person feels “deprived” on calorie restriction, others feel literal severe flue like illness and muscle pain. While some get “strong hunger pains” other feel like they have an ulcer, complete with vomiting, due to the differences in hunger controlling hormones.

I’m sorry to invalidate your thoughts — and I’m sure I should probably get a few rebuffs — but, no … your struggles are not in the same category.

So no one will ask you for your magic ;)
