I weighed 90-95 pounds in college and grad school(early to late-1970s), which was a good weight for me. I slowly over 30 years put on nearly 70 pounds, with one blip. In about 1990 I got very ill, with a hormone imbalance. I couldn't eat anything and had to be fed through a tube. In two months I lost a huge amount of weight. I then got better. I became voraciously hungry, hunger like I have never imagined. I quickly put the weight back on again. And I was hungry for 10 years after that. It was very difficult to control the hunger. My docs all poo-poo'd my experience and I am still rather pissed about their denial of my experience.
