I’m hungry right now. I should be working, but all I want to do is to eat. I have already eaten more than enough today, and I would like to lose weight.

I could take more caffeine to reduce my desire for food, but it is already too close to bedtime. I could try to focus on work (I am) but I keep getting intrusive thoughts about the fact that I could just get ice cream/cookies/chicken fingers/burrito/quesadilla/insert food here in just a few moments.

I wish I could take these drugs, unfortunately I cannot. Terrible side effects.

Strangely, after visiting Japan I found it quite easy to eat a healthy low calorie diet for about two weeks. Now I’m back to constant food noise, despite trying to stick to a Japanese-style diet (lots of fish and vegetables and fermented foods).

The people who say “just eat less” don’t understand what the actual problem is.
