Why do we feel hungry, weak, or lightheaded at all, when the body can just burn the stored fat?

When we need energy, can’t the body just burn the stored fat? Isn’t that the whole point of stored fat? Why will we feel hungry, weak, lightheaded, etc. at all? I understand if the body doesn’t have enough fat (if you’re super skinny), it would make sense to feel hungry, but I don’t understand why would that be the case if there’s enough fat to go around.

Imagine your fire is dying and you need fuel for the fire, sugar and caffeine are like a flammable liquid, complex carbs protein and fat are like kindling and wood and your stored fat is like a wet log
