Honestly, this helps motivate my weight loss. When you're hungry you know you're doing something right.

Thanks! Simple things like this are what helped me a lot. Another was the fact that humans use most of their calories maintaining body temperature. So while you do burn more calories while exercising in warm weather, staying cold will cause higher continuous calorie burn.

So the secret to weight loss is to be cold and hungry, and to supplement this with forced labor. Using these methods I was able to get into the best shape of my life.

I'm not saying that you have a problem, but I will point out that this sounds like the kind of thinking that can lead to eating disorders.

It's possible to eat less and not always feel hungry. It's just not easy. Turning hunger into a "good" thing isn't actually a healthy approach to dieting.

Yes and no. There are certain things you can do on the margin, such as eating more satiating foods, but ultimately you will likely feel hunger pangs when you are eating below your caloric maintenance.

I don't mean to say that one should always feel hungry, regardless of what they are eating.
