I've lost over 150lbs and kept most of it off for the better part of a decade, so I will tell you from experience that you are full of shit.

In my experience, bodyweight functions like a closed loop control system that uses hunger signals to address the error signal. The error signal is basically (greatest weight attained) - (current weight) where the greatest weight attained value is severely lag filtered, say 2 years or more. The system seems to be very strong in response to rate changes in the error. The integral of the error seems to be pretty strong over a period of say 5-7 days.

Congratulations on your weight loss, does your experience compare to what I've described?
