Is it normal to be hungry when your not hungry

Ok. Even after I just ate and not feeling hungry or have a growling stomach, I feel hungry almost mentally as if my mind is trying to tell me to eat more. I don't feel hungry but I just 'want' to eat. I think it could be boredom, like mabe my mind just needs stimulation but I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

Is It Normal?

  • Omg same thing!! Like I'll finish dinner, then I go to the fridge and I'll have a sandwich, then a yogurt, then an apple, and then I'll go watch a movie and have like two big bags of popcorn...I'm not bulimic or anything an I'm not fat...it's weird but pretty normal...natural human nature I guess

  • Humans are programmed to eat as much as they can when they have access to food, so ya it's pretty normal.

  • Whenever there is a lot to eat, we tend to eat as much as we can so that we have reserves for when times get meagre. Thing is - there are no meagre times for western countries. So we just end up getting fat. But it's human nature!

  • I have the same problem. Try eating apples which are really good for you, and are filling. Also you're probably just bored. Go for a walk or something!

  • Yea, you just need to do something- get out of the house. Try drinking some water, too. It will make u feel even more full.
