[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of like that hungry feeling. Once I power past it, it's weirdly energizing. [/quote]

I often wonder if people just process the feeling if hunger differently. Like if I am focused on work I can power through hunger no problem and actually kind of feel like the hunger helps me focus. But my DH can't do this. The second he feels hungry he can't work until he eats because he's too distracted. But once he eats he can focus. Whereas when I am full I have to do something else -- take a walk, read a book, workout, talk to a colleague -- until the full feeling subsides.

I think people who process hunger like DH are much more likely to be snackers and struggle with overeating.[/quote]
I think you’re right. I’m currently hungry, but since I’m up at 6am and don’t typically go to bed until 11pm, I know I can’t at yet or I’ll be eating all day. I will eat at 930a, but not promptly, just whenever after 930a I find that I can’t ignore it anymore.

And I don’t do large meals, I do small 100-200 calorie snacks throughout the day. So, for example, I’ll break my fast with a small bowl of overnight oats, then around 11 I’ll have a yogurt, around 1 some sort of protein, etc etc, until dinner.  [/quote]
