This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My husband says if you push past that and eat (he bulked once) that your appetite adjusts and you get bigger and hungrier. But bodies generally want to sort of stay the size they are, so don’t signal “eat, dammit!” if you have funded it enough to maintain.

100% this, the body moves to maintain whatever you feed it, which to be fair, is probably externally influenced by the amount of work you output. One of the solutions to eating too much, is literally to just eat less. Of course, fat bulking is really weird, and getting rid of it is even weirder, that's human biology for you.
