Can’t tell whether I’m hungry or not?

BlueDalmatian

Hello, all Slight smile

I find it hard to tell whether I’m hungry or not. It’s a very weird instance in that, if I’ve already had food earlier in the day, as it progresses to later on, it feels like I’m hungry and full at the same time (if that makes any sense). 

Is there any way I can tell; sometimes I’ll make something, and get halfway through it before I realise I was never hungry in the first place, or I’m in bed after brushing my teeth (which is my hard-line ‘no food beyond this point’ boundary) and realise I am actually hungry. 

Any advice? Slight smile

  • Let me put it this way: when I'm at work and have set times for break and lunch, things go okay.  On my days off, I will get to 2 or 3 in the afternoon and wonder why I'm feeling tired and headachey, and realise that I haven't actually eaten yet.

    So for me, making meals a part of the routine helps. Having other people remind me to eat also helps.

    Sometimes I do notice I'm hungry, but it's not consistent enough to be reliable.

    I’m getting better at realising when, but it’s worse when I’ve already eaten. For instance, when I’ve woke up, had breakfast or lunch (sometimes I don’t bother with the first one), I then find myself stuck a few hours later trying to decide whether or not I actually want food, or whether it’ll end up being abandoned halfway through eating it
