Comment on Anon wants more pizza

I can’t even fathom being able to eat that much in one sitting.
A large pizza is like two evening’s food for me. I can’t even manage half of one of the big Costco ones. Two slices and I’m done.
As an above average American, I can. I have eaten an entire pizza and then gone back for seconds. You’re supposed to not feel hungry after you eat, but I lack that crucial sense.
I don’t do that anymore, but that’s only because I remind myself that it’s not normal to finish an entire large pizza in one sitting and I’m weird if I do it
Really? I can eat a whole Costco pizza, and I have a normal BMI. I’m male and tall, so that helps.
A whole pepperoni from Costco is a bit under 4000 calories, which isn’t quite 2x my daily recommended intake (something like 3000 calories). So I can do it, I’ll just be a bit full and that’s all I should be eating that day.
Regular large pizzas are a lot smaller than Costco pizzas. A large from Domino’s is apparently ~2200, so two large Dominos pizzas are comparable to one Costco pizza (a little more, but not a ton more).
So I could do it if I was really hungry, but I usually only eat about 3-4 Costco slices (around 1000-1250 calories).
how? I can eat 7/8 slices at once then eat the 8th like 30m later

Your stomach stretches out after a long enough time of eating like this and you have to eat even more to feel full.
Watch some “my 600lb life” and it starts to make sense. It’s a slow boil, to be sure, but I think it can happen to anyone that isn’t paying attention, who uses food and that feeling of fullness to cope with whatever negative feelings they have. I like Sean of steel (former 600lber), he gives some really good context in his react vids on youtube.
