I ate because I was hungry

[Guest guest]

I ate pre-WLS for the same reason I eat now - overactive taste buds. I am

convinced that I eat because of the way things taste. There are some days

that all I want to eat are carbs or sugar, don't care if I have any protein

at all. Face it, protein just doesn't taste as good or go down as easy as

carbs. If I could find someone that would do it, I would have my tastebuds

removed or totally deadened permanently. I would be willing to give up ever

tasting anything again if I could lose all the weight I want to lose and keep

it off. And I'm convinced that if I couldn't taste anything, now that I don't

get hungry, I could eat exactly the amounts I need to stay alive, of the

" healthy " foods, and wouldn't eat anything that wasn't good for me. Why won't

anybody do anything about the taste buds?
