A couple of reasons for this:
I'm overweight so going hungry for a while makes me feel like I'm thinner.
Not eating makes my stomach feel empty so I feel more active.
If I don't eat for a while I am starving when I do finally eat and it tastes so much better.
Feeling hungry is a sign of your body that you need to eat some food. When I say "to eat some food" I don't mean that you should eat a lot of food. Just enough to not feel hungry anymore.
It's actually bad for you to starve yourself like this. Your body goes into survival mode, and stores more in your fat cells when you do eat. If you aren't gaining weight because of it, it's certainly not helping you lose weight. I'd suggest small snacks throughout the day--you'll have even more energy, and while you'll end up eating more than two-to-three large meals would have you eating by the end of the day, it'll speed up your metabolism, allowing you to digest food, and burn calories faster.
