Things I've found I've confused with being hungry are:

1)Tiredness
2)Boredom
3)Watching TV - It's just this weird thing where when I watch TV I want to eat
4)Thirst
5)Emotions

    Its like you climbed in my mind and took all my answers lol


    I also find the thought of the taste of the food, sounds silly I guess, but the thought of eating certain foods makes me want to taste/eat them even if not hungry

    I'm not one for eating when sad/depressed/stressed, I actually lose my appetite.

    I eat when I'm hungry or really want something in particular.

    I think I've confused pretty much everything with hunger at one point or another...except hunger. So much so that when I started to actually feel hungry over the last month, I've ignored it thinking it was something else. Oops. And that is why I started logging in here : to track my intake and progress while learning how to listen to what my body needs.

    I've never felt "hungry" before, however I often get bored or lonely and stuff my face because of it.

    Usually boredom, but that's less confusion and more KNOWING I'm bored and going to the kitchen for something to do (aka shove in my face). For a long time when I wasn't eating right, I confused feeling sick from poor nutrition with being hungry. I couldn't tell if I was nauseated or hungry.

    Being bored
    Being tired
    Being thirsty

    We're opposite-I get aggressively unhungry when I'm sad. After my grandfather died, I was wasn't hungry for a few weeks. My family made me eat to stay healthy, but it was all just unappetizing and I had to force it down.

    Being social!!!

    I eat when I'm with people, or when there is food in the middle of the group.
