I think this article over-complicates things a bit. Some people, specifically people who have never been overweight (another spouse of one of these very people), have a switch in their brain that says "hey, stop eating", and some people (me) do not.

My husband says no to food. I don't even know how that works inside his head. I can't empathize with the feeling of "I'm not hungry". I don't even know what that feels like. How can you not want to eat the whole bag of chips? What does it feel like to look at something that tastes good (ya know, or not that much) and go "Oh, I don't want that right now"?

It's a conscious effort to stop putting food from hand to mouth. I'm "not hungry" when I'm full to bursting. And even then, I still desire the chewing and swallowing of something delicious, I just can't anymore. I have no switch.

I like to think of it like genetic software. He's got the programming, that kicks in when X amount of data (food) has entered the system, that shuts down the input. I got the programming that compresses the files so I can continue to inundate the system until I'm out of memory. I just had to download Norton for your mouth and remember to run the scan every day(MFP).
