I guess in high school, and then more in college, lasting until...maybe two or three years after college? So maybe 8-10 years. Something like that. Not all my life though. I was a pretty skinny kid. I wouldn't say it was due to illness or injury; mainly it was due to eating a whole lot of crap, lol. Also, I think stress really does make one (or maybe it's just me?) hungrier.

It was seldom a case of eating when I was full, more of just being really damn hungry, more than other people. Which is why I tend to think losing weight wasn't just about losing weight for me, but about a change of life as well. Hope this is helpful in some way. :)
