Answer #1

Hi,

Hunger for me is physical. If I’m hungry, I feel empty in my stomach, and it begins to make me feel dizzy and light…

I read somewhere that your brain takes 20 minutes to realize that your body is full. So, when I’m eating, I stop before I’m even close to feeling full. I just feel…not hungry anymore.

:)

What about you? Very interesting question, by the way!

Answer #2

I used to feel hungry emotionally. It was like I had a relationship with food. I ate it for comfort more than for nourishment. However, I have worked hard to change that. Now, I have learned to listen to my body. I can tell the difference now between physical hunger and emotional craving. It’s rough.
