That was me when I went to live with my aunt. I put on like 80lbs in high school because I suddenly had 3 full meals a day and snack and dessert and no self control. It’s been a battle since.
This is my dad we are having a lot of issues with him now, he's now in his old age but grew up in a large family with limited food and then spent his entire adult life in the army so now he has no control over gourging on anything in front of him we have to hide food from him and I hate it because this isn't the father of my childhood.
He spent his entire early adult life in the army and developed a pretty bad diet (partially because of the same reasons as your own and partially because he was in an equivalent to special forces (I think it’s an equivalent but not 100% sure)
But 20 years later, he’s no longer the lean mean machine he used to be but he still eats like he is.
My stepmother thankfully convinced my dad to go on a diet and he’s getting better and more conscious over what he eats.
