> If your body is telling you 24/7 that you're hungry, it's very hard to ignore that drive
Trying to ignore being hungry it is a poor strategy. The solution is to to make peace with the sensation of hunger.
I do think most obesity should be treated as a mental health issue rather than a physical health issue.
The issue isn't that the person is obese - that's the symptom. The issue is that they're overheating. "What's driving me to overeat?" is the question they need to be asking themselves, and that answer will be the first piece of the puzzle.
