Haha, appreciate the solidarity brother. It makes the goal of being big and strong unnecessarily hard (as if it isn’t enough already) when the most important thing is a struggle. But it’s also no excuse, and there’s no way to quantify my discomfort vs an obese person who has to avoid food, so it’s useless to whine about too often. Just gotta let all you inner fatties know you’re still freaks to me.

I’m an inner fattie. I didn’t struggle to eat enough food, I struggled to keep it all in. I can pound 6000 calories a day like it’s nothing. I just haven’t been healthy enough to do that in a long while…but I’ll average I consumed just about 10,000 calories this week (and that’s an estimate on the generous side).
This is great 
. I struggle eating big when it’s clean. For some reason 7,000 calories of pure trash is easy.

It’s more of an effort for me to eat than it is to train. I have to mentally approach some meals like a workout and coach myself through them
@flappinit @kleinhound I’ve never had to coach myself through a pizza and a giant calzone

In all honesty, I have had to coach myself through some meals. I used to plan 200g rice, 450g ground beef, plus veg etc. To taste as a single meal, 6 days a week. By the end, it took some forcing.
Only after the first 20 minutes. Solution: eat quickly.
The only time I’ve ever had to ‘coach’ myself through eating is on a refeed after a comp weigh-in. 364 days a year im permanently hungry, with an insatiable sugar craving, but for some reason after a weight cut and a 24 hours fast getting even 7k calories from mostly sugar and carbs really stop being fun after the first few thousand. Then it really becomes a tactical game of swapping between liquid and solid calories and figuring out which type of cookie is least likely to make you want to throw up.
That sounds awful, I’m the exact opposite with sugar, I just don’t like to be hungry. I’ve never been comp lean though, just upper single digits in %bf so I’m sure that has something to do with it.
I’ve never understood cravings for sugar and I’ve heard of it being addictive because of dopamine release. I only have sugar when I bulk though and at the end of a bulk nothing sounds good so I just cut out all the sugar. Maybe I tricked myself into not liking it by using it to bulk.
Unpopular diet plan: eat candy until your eyes bulge out of your skull, then take syrup of ipecac and projectile vomit all over the street. You’ll now have no desire to eat candy.
Repeat as necessary with pizza, burgers, chips, etc…
For best results, induce vomiting at least once a month.

To be fair I dont think I will drink a mojito for a while. You may be on to something.

Vomiting has honestly never given me an aversion to the food I vomited.
However, eating 1lb of beef jerky and then throwing up DOES make you think you are throwing up your organs, so there is that.
This is so fucking embarrassing…
