Why are fat people hungry all the time? Last year I worked at a normal dead beat retail store during the school year to pay groceries etc. One of my coworkers was extremely fat and an overall ham planet. I would work opening shifts with her (8-2) on the weekends and she would show up with breakfast in hand and at about 10:30-11 start complaining about how hungry she was and how she was looking forward to lunch. When other coworkers arrived she would immediately dart off to lunch (often McDonald's or Wendy's), never once asking me if I would like to go to lunch first or anything like that. I guess my real question is why do fat people get so hungry so fast? Is it because of some metabolism thing that makes them hungry or such a stretched stomach from eating so much that makes them feel empty and hungry fast and often? Not sure.
