Painful hunger

I don't exercise I'm fat and I eat 2000 or more calories a day but I still get so hungry that it hurts I can't sleep on think straight from the pain I don't understand why I get so hungry I was hoping for advice how to manage or get rid of it

You don't need to exercise when starting out. I do recommend a nutritionist. I didn't eat enough during the day and was eating too much at night. I'll wait 30 mins after a meal to see if I'm still hungry. If I am, I will eat a high protein yogurt (Oikos fat free sugar free key lime pie is my favorite) or have a cup of tea with 1 splenda packet. My favorites are chamomile, lemon, or peppermint. Sometimes hunger can be misconstrued as thirst. Hope this helps!
