This is so true! I can tell that I'm just eating to eat when none of the things that taste great when I'm really hungry (broccoli with a slice of 2% cheese melted on top for example) sound even remotely good. It's like the ante always needs to be upped. But when I'm really hungry, the healthy stuff can taste soo good!
