Wow. You really really get what I'm saying. :-) Thank you.

Just to split hairs, even though I differentiated in my post between somewhat overweight and very overweight, I think that this idea of food being chemically addictive makes it obvious that people of *all* weights are being dealt a difficult hand to work with. I've behaved in stereo-typical "fat" ways plenty, eating fast, mindlessly, binging, eating when I don't want to eat, eating until it hurts. Discovering the chemical addiction makes *sense*.
