You and people like you are the exceptions. In my opinion, formed by years of observation, most obese people would rather eat a ton than lose weight. They won’t admit it but it is true. They also lie to themselves about the amount they eat. Every fat person I know eats like a horse. While I was not obese, I was heading in that direction. I finally decided to lose the weight and lost 30 pounds. I am amazed now by how much less I eat than before. I also find it fascinating to watch my overweight relatives eat.
There are no fat people in concentration camps. Get the intake low enough, and the body WILL lose weight.
Some fat people - and I’m NOT skinny - think they could eat a peanut a day and be fat, because of their ‘genetics’. But physics says that if the intake is low enough, weight WILL be lost.
