Are you hungry as in your stomach feels empty or hungry as in you don't feel satisfied or hungry as in cravings?

I know the feeling so well :(

I actually feel hunger, like my stomach is empty. Sometimes as shortly as an hour or two after a meal. I know I get more than enough fiber and I eat veggies with every meal (except breakfast sometimes). I do get cravings for sweets sometimes, but I generally just try to keep something like a fiber one brownie on hand for that kind of thing.

Ever since I can remember food was always the first thing on my mind. Like others have said, I look forward to my next meal and I often find myself depressed or upset when I know my next meal isn't as good as I hope.

me too!
 

I think about food all the time too! It helps to keep a bottle of water or some chewing gum with me.

I thought I was the only one lol , I do this too and it's actually caused me to overeat for the past month just indulging in what I want and of course I've gained 20 pounds :/

i am thinking of ice cream, choco cakes right now... :(

when I sneeze, I know that it is time to stop. I sneeze when I've had enough. Other than that, I don't "feel" full per se.

The food on my mind? It's tomatoes. I have a craving for tomatoes right now.
I'm... I'm weird!

I also think about food 24/7 espeically what we're gonna have on Tuesdays cause thats the day we usually go to a sit down restraunt (sp) even after that day is over I start thinking about the next Tuesday, We also go get something off the dollar menu every Sat. but there are limited fast food places with a dollar menu here in Wichita so I dont really think about that day very much but I do Tuesdays.

Cutting carbs did wonders for curbing my food thoughts, now I only really obsess over food when I'm very hungry or having stomach problems. Unfortunately the latter is occurring now...

Yep. I think about food always. It never ends. Right now, I'm thinking about some boneless fried chicken from KFC, and dipping their biscuits into a big plate full of their mashed potatoes and gravy...wash it all down with spoon after spoon of their mac and cheese...oh my god, help me.
