>Genuinely how the fuck do you stop overeating I've been overweight since early childhood I have no self-control.i recently heard a theory that people in your situation have a problem that i don't believe is ever discussed:
the theory basically said that dishonest people lie so much that they lose contact with reality. the best liars are those that lie so good that they themselves believe the lie. that's how they beat the polygraph or whatever methods of lie detection they have nowadays. they convince themselves and believe the lie themselves. this fucks up their brain.
when you ask those people what they ate, they will lie. they will say they just had a salad all day… but stuffed underneath their car seat are hundreds and hundreds of candybar wrappers that they don't count and some don't even remember. apparently this theory was sparked by some recent study that concluded that fat people just don't report what they really eat.
some lie and know about it, others are so identified with illusion, the consumption of the candy bar happens completely outside their conscious presence. so some actively lie and others lie but don't know that they are lying because they are so advanced in selective perception that their mind does not let them see everything they are doing. very much reminded me of a multiple personality thing. i laugh at the ridiculous psychological effort required to puppeteer the human body by several personalities that sometimes don't know about each other. like 2 or more different crazy moods taking turn controlling this one mindless robot. reminds me about this anecdote that some people with multiple personality have one personality that needs glasses and others that don't need glasses because the identification with one personality changed the inter-occular pressure, bending the retina into needing glasses.
a fat friend of mine in school once said to me: "every time i eat something tasty, i just eat it and then wake up and i don't know how or if i ate it" thinking about this in light of this theory makes a lot of sense. this whole theory i tried to briefly summarize to me makes a whole lot of sense.
if that was true and this was your issue, the solution would be to find alternatives to deal with your life then being a liar. i have not encountered stories abo
