Why does the body still get hungry when there is excess stored fat?

694 views

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 😊.
