Reached goal in Aug. 2003 - 4rd year of maintenance.

Actually, I've always puzzled over the preoccupation of researchers with "appetite." As if being hungry is the reason people eat--or being full is the reason they stop.

Those signals have NEVER been functional in my life, as far as I can tell. My past behavior: eat when it's "time" to eat, eat what looks good--and as much of it as there is. Happily, I never feel hungry on LC. But learning to make good food choices and quantity measurements is far more important than being hungry or not for shaping my successful behavior.

And there's always emotional eating...NOT driven by physical hunger at all.
