    Do you 'forget' to eat lunch?

      I put it off constantly while I'm doing other things, but I've never forgotten. In fact I think about lunch from lunch time until the point that I eat it.

      If I'm very busy (driving, mad day at work) I'll often forget. But normally I'm watching the clock.

      I have not gotten hungry until it was so late that I decided to just wait for dinner, which I guess is sort of like forgetting to eat lunch. That doesn't happen often though because I don't eat breakfast.

      I didn't have a weight problem for over 40 years, then I did, now I don't again.

      Every place I've worked has free food for engineers. Lots of junk, yes, but jeez, worst case some greek yogurt with extra protein powder mixed in hits the spot.
      'Forgetting' to eat, I still can't fathom, even if I'm busy....

      At one point forgetting lunch definitely contributed to my overeating, because due to busy schedules, I'd forget lunch often and then after 3-4 days, just go all out and overeat dramatically.

      Putting myself on a feeding schedule helped arrest my weight gain at that point. Other thing at other times contributed to the remainder of my gain.

      I forgot to eat a lot in my 20's , I think it's just your bodies way of telling you you don't need to eat yet. I never force myself to eat if I am not hungry. I wasn't too thin or fat then so I didn't see a reason to mess with it.
