Basically as the title says. If I’m already obese right, why does my stomach still feel hungry when it has “food at home” aka an excess stored up as fat. Why would it not just utilize the energy that is already there and then when it gets to a certain body fat percentage become hungry again at that point? Why does the body just continue to store up fat to an uncomfortable and unhealthy point and keeps asking for more food when there is already so much available to it?
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your responses. There are lots of great explanations and viewpoints here 😊.

Being obese is more like being addicted to cocaine than it is like sensibly stockpiling calories. Once you understand that you’re dealing with an addictive derailing of the brains reward systems , like a cocaine addict , the answers to questions like yours become obvious. “Because your brain and hormonal system are acting like coke fiends” that’s always the answer. Would you ask “ how come doing cocajne just makes me want more cocaine? Why doesn’t my body realize enough is enough?” Because that’s basically what you’ve asked here.
