Guest guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I don't actually like the term " mouth hunger at all " , because for me it doesn't seem to be coming from my mouth. It's more like mind-hunger. It's my mind that tells me that it wants something. Stomach hunger I get, though sometimes it's more like whole body. A character talked about that in Barbara Kingsolver's Poisonwood Bible, where the family was essentially starving, the difference between stomach hunger and body hunger. She said the feeling in your stomach goes away, but then your whole body in NEEDING food. Of course we're never at that point, but sometimes I will get a bit shaky, and very cranky, and be unable to make any decisions, and my first thought is not that I am hungry, but usually I am, and eating takes care of it. Ideally, what your mouth wants will be something that will satisfy your body as well. I'm really trying to listen to that.
