  • Amy Lee a few times. And once a woman said I looked like Shirley Maclaine from the 1930s.
  • You can add me!
  • Thank you for posting this. I have tried to explain this feeling to friends who end up looking at me like I grew a third nostril. I was beginning to think something was really wrong with me. Sometimes I am so hungry I feel physical pain, but I'm also feel really full.
