Hungry or bored?

I never get hungry like that when I am bored thankfully.

I usually do not feel hungry, but sometimes I have a little craving. We only live once and I enjoy what I am craving to have.

I try to consider whether or not I am really hungry when I want to eat something. Sometimes it is just force of habit or boredom emptiness whatever.

I love this new photo of you again Vicki

I usually reach for an apple when I feel bored but do not need any food. Apples fill me up.

I had that problem yesterday. I even went to the fridge and looked inside, closed it, opened the pantry, closed it, and went back to my movie. I wanted something but didn't need it, so didn't. This time I won. Next time, I might not be so lucky. I just might get that irresistible snack and pay for it on the scale.

When I go for something to eat, and then it’s really not out of hunger, I tend to change my intentions to something to drink instead. That is assuming the beverage I’m getting is not full of sugar, of course. If I am I might as well have gone for the snack. Coca-Cola just always seems to tempt me!

I have a bad habit of eating when I'm bored or tense about something. I try to quench the feeling by drinking water. It doesn't always help. What does help is taking the dogs outside to play. Losing myself in writing a new story also does the trick.

I keep pushing myself to do things on my PC so boredom is not longer in my dictionary. But you mentioned about food I have something funny going on. I make easy and simple meals to just feed myself and even eat by my PC, Lately I make the food then have some forkfuls and it no longer interests me. I cannot afford to throw food out so now I am wondering what I have to do to eat with my usual appetite again,

I am a firm believer in the last paragraph of your discussion! Lol I try to eat healthy as much as I can, but dammit sometimes I just want to fulfill a craving and by golly I’m going to do it! Haha

Trouble is when you get bored you can overeat the old snacks and not want a proper meal, which leads to more snacks later on

I do sometimes think about eating when I’m not hungry.I usually get busy and forget about it.

This happens all the time for me. I just love food too much!

I rarely have an appetite, I just eat because I know I need to. Hope you are feeling well these days. Will catch up soon.

I do occasionally eat out of boredom. Not as much as I used to. I don't know if that's because I don't get bored so much or if it's that I have better control over it, and actually realise that I'm not hungry rather than picking up a snack without thinking. When I get bored and want to go for a snack, I'll get myself a drink and I might pick up a puzzle book or something to do. I've always got plenty of things I should be doing, just don't want to do anything of them! If I find myself something to do and still feel like a snack, I'll get a piece of fruit. There are times when I see a new product and want to try it - that doesn't happen often, though, so I'll just indulge at those times!

Yes and I think we are all spoiled with choices of food.

Sometimes I do the opposite: I think my tummy hurts a bit, and then I realize I'm just hungry.

My mother is like that. She keeps saying to treat food as fuel for your body, but she doesn't. I need to do it too.

I was looking at Facebook memories a couple of days ago and one popped up that said something like "what my fridge sees these days". It was from the early days of the COVID lockdown. It was Eminem looking into the fridge and a reference to his song that says "guess who's back? back again?"
