I fear I may be exceptionally dim even on this metric - I often find myself deducing that I should be hungry before feeling hunger. I think I might do well to start in on the previous and this step quite soon.
Actually, thinking you should be hungry while not actually hungry is pretty common. I once lost a great deal of weight by simply not eating unless I actually felt hunger - we often eat because there's food around or because it's a mealtime instead of because we're hungry. (The weight loss alarmed my pediatrician and she told me to stop doing whatever I was doing, and I've never been able to reduplicate the feat.)
Do you mean that you haven't been as able to only eat when you're hungry, or that even if you do wait until you're hungry, you don't lose that much weight?
The former. I have a long history of strategies and techniques in general working for me until I lapse once, and then I can never make them work again. I hope to unpack and fix that in the medium-term future.
That's a good point - I'll bear it in mind.
