Does thinking about food make you hungry?

I have noticed that following the same diet every day has helped me develop habits and eat less. Which of course has helped me loose weight. But yeasturday I had a very stressful funeral for my Aunt, and I noticed that I was thinking more and more about food so much so. That I think I stimulated my stomach into being hungry. And I was so hungry that I gave in. When other days I don't think about food and I don't get hungry.

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your Aunt. Do you think you might have been thinking about food to distract yourself from the stress/sadness of the day?
    My Dad passed away on the 16th of this month, and for me right now nothing seems to taste or sound good.
    Again I'm sorry.

    Weather Jane your probably right. I wasn't that close to her, we both have similar mental illness. I was feeling guilty about not knowing her better. But I really want a baby and I need to watch my weight that has been motivating me. But I am coming off the mindset of a cheat day. So I am trying to discipline my mind after my cheat day. To get back to wear I was.

    I find that if I restrict myself too much and never eat the things I enjoy, then I am more likely to go wild especially during I time of stress. I try to be moderate every day and make sure I include a few treats every day
