Would you mind sharing what your diet was like as a child?
I wonder if there's a connection between diet during development and adult processing of and cravings for food. Maybe eating candy for breakfast (cookiecrisp!) every day in elementary school messed a bunch of us up.
Not OP, but I ate sooo much Kellogg's and General Mill's sugary products in high school for breakfast (pop tarts, eggo waffles, all the disgusting cereals you can name...), but I took Centrum daily and played a ton of basketball after school. Almost 1 can of coke a day after school. No heath problems as an adult. But of course, genetics come into play as well, no overweight parents or relatives.
