What does your hunger feel like?

Since I've been logging my calories I've become more attuned to my hunger signals (since I'm not eating as much and they get a chance to work). Often they're similar, an empty stomach feeling, but every now and then they'll throw me a curve. E.g., today I needed a snack (a rarity for me; I like big meals) and felt a mild weakness in my legs and arms, but my stomach felt fine and full enough. I tried drinking some water, then had a half peanut butter sandwich/cup of milk and felt better. Maybe it's a diabetic (type 2) thing, or maybe everyone's hunger signals vary. Just curious.
Since it's close to lunchtime on the East Coast, I was curious how your hunger signals feel today. Feel free to reply in gifs or text.

Huh, interesting. I've not experienced those symptoms. Wonder if that'll change as I lose weight.

I doubt it, I'm sure it's some kind of blood sugar thing although my fasting levels test just fine. I've always been that way - my family used to call me Dr. Jekyll because they said they could never tell when my evil side would come out, then finally they realized it was whenever I was hungry. I don't get growly stomach type of signs very often. Usually feeling nauseated is my first sign that I need to eat. Trying to kill someone is the second And if I miss a meal, I'll get a killer headache.0 -
@sofaking6 Ha ha, gotcha. I get sleepy I'd I miss a meal but have never had a hunger headache. So many varieties of human!0

depends on how hungry I am- time of day and what I'm doing- but this is typically what it's like:
930 AM- I"m going to puke
1 PM- JESUSCHRISTWHYHAVEN"TIEATENYETIHATEALLOFYOU
<oh look food!!!>
3:30 PM- FAK- I can't eat this early- I'll be dead at 7 PM.
4:00ish... FINALLY FOOD.
405- DAMNNITI"MSTILLHUNGRY
<goes to gym>
7 PM- at the studio- I NEED A SNACK!!!!
dance- get glassy eyed and tired- dance some more- then go home
11 PM- OMG EGGS_ I"M GOING TO DIE IF I DON'T EAT.

My hunger is mistaken for gas by coworkers. My stomach growls sound like the nastiest farts. It's weird.0

Starts with a little gurgling or clenching in my stomach, then a while later I start to get light-headed and unable to focus. If I wait even longer than that, I get this horrible ache in my throat that is really hard to describe.0

Mine starts off with a dry mouth, then I feel a headache, then lack of concentration. Hydrating I have found helps. If your desperate eat fruit. It generally brings up the blood sugars right away0

stomach growling and feeling like its eating itself and cramping0

Dry mouth, stomach cramps, being cold. And pee smells funny.0

My stomach feels like a yawning black pit from which not even sunlight can escape. Also, I feel desperate and frantic like I've lost something important and have no idea where to find it, finally cranky and rageful with a pinch of melancholy. It's really quite fun to be with me when hunger strikes...

Stomach growling and extra saliva.
When my blood glucose is low I get tired weak, shaky and cranky. That would happen about 2 hours after eating for me (with mild reactive hypoglycelia and prediabetes). Low blood sugar can happen without being hungry.0 -

Cramping/gnawing under the breastbone. Weak and shaky. My blood sugar crashes fast if I don't eat when I'm hungry. I'm prediabetic. So I break up meals into many little snacks, as recommended by the doctor.0

I get the shakes.0
