That's exactly why I mentioned effort. You can suffer from your effort or from the lack of it and most of the times, suffering from effort is awarded with pleasure, while suffering from the lack of effort spirales into more suffering.
Sure. Let's do an experiment. Try losing 5Kg/10lbs and maintain that weight loss for two years. Show us how rewarding it is to feel hungry after every meal.
I have a healthy weight because I'm mentally balanced and take responsibility for whatever I do to my body. That is however not something that I assume to be true of somebody who reacts with aggression to genuinely kind help.
I give you a last kind hint, even though I'm convinced you won't hear it and then I'm out here: Going after a craving comes with pain, not with pleasure, because dopamine is a liar: it is the hormone of wanting, not the hormone of satisfaction. Whatever you are craving, allow yourself to go after it here and then, but start paying close attention to how it makes you feel after giving in. Most of the times, it makes you want more and more instead of reducing the craving.
Watch what you're eating and be aware how it makes you feel.
