True hunger

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

One of the things I am having a hard time understanding is the idea of

being really hungry. Which seems a little odd now that I write it out. But

this is what I mean: I might feel hungry....my stomach growls, I feel like I

want to eat but I cant because of whatever reasons...I am driving, I am

working I am doing something away from food. But then the growling goes away

and when I get near food....not really feeling hungry.

So am I hungry or not?

Yesterday I went for my morning walk before work and generally I am not a

breakfast eater as I don't usually get hungry until mid morning. And just as

I was about to leave for work hunger struck in a HUGE way....honestly I

thought I was ravenous so I slowed down and asked myself what I wanted to

eat and despite the hunger there was no answer forthcoming....there was

nothing in the house that I wanted which included homemade cookies and

leftover pizza. So in trying to honor that....I didn't eat because I didn't

know what I wanted. And then suddenly I wasn't hungry one the way to work...

What I ended up eating was because I knew that I would be hungry eventually

and I wouldn't be able to escape my desk and the granola bar I had packed

wouldn't suffice so I ended up eating fast food I didn't really want...

Anyway not trying to whine...just trying to understand myself. Anyone else

have this issue and how do you work with it?
