@sampo Yep, just like knowledge of psychology, most people aren't really interested. Nutrition really only takes a week or two to learn to a decent standard for losing weight too.

I have been everything from beyond morbidly obese to underweight. My weight has fluctuated a lot in my life, in part due to shit like trucking, but really, it all comes down to traumatic response. I was a healthy kid until my dad died when I was 8, then I started overeating. It's as you say, it turns eating into a masturbatory activity. The problem is that your stomach expands and feels empty all the time.
