I'm the same. I found even when I had breakfast I was hungry before lunch so I stopped having breakfast for years. Started again this morning with a bowl of some wheat-based and fruit cereal and I'm just starting to feel a little peckish.

I could also eat pasta all day and I'm generally the first to finish, unless my Dad's there.

Pasta portions are ridiculous. One packet of pasta is supposed to be TWO portions. I normally have one and a half packets or even two. Once i was really hungry and i ate about 500g of pasta from a 600g bag.

Exactly. At the moment im working with patients suffering from Anorexia Nervosa and it is such a shame to see how consumed their lives are in relation to food, weight and shape.

Especially when they are 8 year old children. Luckily I dont work with them, think it would upset me far too much. Its also due to an element of wanting to gain a sense of control over thier lives. For example they cant control other things happening but they can control food.

Anyhoo, I wont bore you lot with that (or derail the thread)

Ironic that the really mental ones are not at all attractive.
