Indeed. If you just need to cram something in your face, eat ice or something. Or just develop the restraint needed not to placate or medicate yourself with food.
I'm not saying that society doesn't have standards that are unfair, just that if one feels so down on themselves for something, then do something about it.
The simply science you addressed is obvious. I know some over-weight people that feel like they went through the effort to walk to the store, rather than drive, they deserve a treat or reward, so they have an icee or a donught when they get there. Well, there you go.
And let's not forget that a huge number of the food additives and preservatives, "flavor-enhancers", food dyes, the high fructose corn syrups, are 10 times harder to work off your body than are natural fats. So, buy whole foods and learn how to cook a piece of hormone-free chicken, other than deep frying it.
