Varying reactions to hunger.

I've noticed that sometimes when I let myself get too hungry I'm like a raging lunatic and will eat whatever I can get my hands on. Sometimes though, I can be hungry for hours and it doesn't even phase me mentally.

What gives? Does this happen to anyone else?

Oh yeah...it may have something to do with peripheral stuff going on. If I'm at work (sedentary) I have too much time to think of food and hunger, so I need to have my food planned and prepped.

At home, I'm usually on my feet and very busy, and either don't even acknowledge that I am hungry or it is like background noise. I can wait to eat when I finish my project, although I can be more susceptible to temptation at these times.
