I was a fat kid cause I didn’t get this about myself
I’m a healthy weight now because I fast for weeks at a time
I literally feel no different after a week of zero food vs a day of binge eating family size pizzas and multiple packets of chocolate
I do often wonder what it must be like to feel full. Or hungry. I dont think Ive ever felt either. I also wonder how many people are like this but don’t realise it about themselves.
All I feel when I eat is the dopamine rush which is why I have to restrict severely to maintain a healthy weight
I have the same thing but it turns out opposite for me. When I moved out I’d just forget to eat with my parents not putting food in front of me anymore. I have a migraine issue that’s related to all of this somehow so I’d regularly be curled up in a ball in my bedroom because my body forgot to remind me to eat or drink. It’s crazy how different our bodies all are and it’s important to remember that with some empathy for others.
It’s not as bad as “disordered eating” makes it sound. It’s not like you’re bingeing and then throwing it back up.
We didn’t evolve to have constantly stocked up fridges and cupboards. In cave man times, you would go through times of plenty and times of famine many times in your life. Maybe one week you hunt a nice big stag, you’ll eat as much as possible because you don’t know when you’ll next have a successful hunt and it’s not like you can just pop it in the freezer, especially if it’s at a time of year where gathering fruits and seeds is unlikely.
Eating lots one week and little the next is arguably better than the constant grazing that we take for granted in modern times. What you’re doing is more natural given the way that we evolved than what the majority of us do.
I have no hunger signals

Well, you’re a goat. You either graze or hop mountains
You found something that works for you despite your problems and that’s absolutely brilliant.
There’s nothing wrong at all with eating too much one day/week and making up for it by eating less the next day/week.
My guy… that’s disordered eating.
No kidding. It’s either that or be fat tho.
In 50 years I’ve never managed to establish a healthy relationship with food.
At least this way I look OK on the outside. And I’m not underweight, my BMI is in the overweight range.

So, you could keep eating as much as you want without ever feeling full and bloated, like your stomach could explode?
Just curious, you have an interesting condition.
