I ate a light lunch. I did actually eat dinner at 4 usually. So I ate something light at 4pm and when I was eating I thought...how funny..YIG just made fun of me in regards to this and my age. I will eat again when I get home from my bible study thing. Assuming I'm hungry enough. I really need to eat more. I've only had about half of what I should eat in a day.

Just to counter the eat lots of meals to lose weight idea, I strongly suggest looking up intermittent fasting (I like to think of it as scheduled eating you just plan your meals so that you only eat in a 6 or 8 hour window during the day) as a weight loss technique. Dr. Jason Fung in particular is a big proponent of fasting for health and its many benefits and does a lot to clear up the misinformation that surrounds healthy eating.
As for not feeling hungry, we could give God some credit for designing our bodies to be smart enough to know when they need to eat. If you aren't hungry don't eat yet (at least if it's only been a few days, if it's been a few months that you haven't felt like eating at all then yeah, maybe there's a problem).
And no this isn't directed personally at zero, just a response to the ideas he posted.

Yes, I've heard a doctor talk about how intermittent fasting can be beneficial, but your statement about the body only being hungry when it needs food isn't really accurate. I learned from a registered dietician (basically a doctor of nutrition - 4 years of study plus internship) She has worked years in hospitals helping people with special nutritional needs and she explained that the brain will stop telling you its hungry after some time. It's like we have a natural appetite suppressant system that kicks in when the brain believes food is scarce. She said many morbidly obese people actually eat only one meal a day and wonder why they aren't lose weight. Our metabolism is like an old steam engine that runs on coal. You feed it and it continues to burn, fan the flames with exercise and it will get hotter, you stop feeding it and it cools down.

bravo! Good job. \O/
Driving on the roads of a neighbouring country on a business trip a while back I naturally made use of a navigation app to guide me to my various destinations and then finally back to the airport. Of course on occasion when I was focused on the radio, I missed a turn, but I was always guided back on course with gentle but firm voice prompts. Ever notice how Lucy or Tom or whatever your navigator voice is called, never has attitude? You just get guided back on to the right route no matter how many times you decide to 2nd guess the navigator. Whats NOT programmed into the app is, "Now why didn't you make that turn? You never listen! If you think you know the route then I'll let you find that place yourself!" Nope. Just "Calculating" then an instruction.
Sounds like how God treats me when I tend to lose my way. He just lovingly guides me back onto the right path.
Psalm 86:15
But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
