But what is so strange is that I seem to want to figure out the answer to why some people can control what they eat, and others can't. For example, my sister was up this weekend with her daughter. She is overweight and her daughter is not. Her daughter is 25.
Anyway, I watched them without them knowing. My sister didn't eat around her daughter, but you know she wanted to. She obviously ate when she wasn't around otherwise she would not be that big. Her daughter on the other hand never ate. She literally had a piece of toast for breakfast, one piece of candy for lunch (after getting shaky in a store) and a small salad for dinner (she ate 1/2 of what was served).
The daughter was in my opinion as unhealthy as her mother. One extreme over the other. One who had so much control, and the other who has very little. I compared myself to them and noticed that I have zero control. I was alwasy skinny my whole life until 20-25, then I gained weight after a surgery I had.
I guess what I'm driving at is there is no answer. That at the end of the day it might just be that each and every moment we are presented with a choice - a choice to do the right thing or do the wrong thing - we provide an answer. And the sum total of those individual answers is who we are - overweight, healthy, or even under weight.
If you actually read this whole posting - wow! It may just be dribble but I really feel like I'm getting somewhere in my quest to lose weight. Learning about others helps me learn about me.

Welcome! I wish I knew the answer! But at least we're all looking for it together.
