Do you forget to eat and then find you're less and less hungry because you haven't eaten?
Why is that?

Yeah, like today...I had 3 cups of tea, and 4 cups of coffee...completely forgot to eat (too busy with the kids). Sat down to tea and was like...ugh...ate a few bites (it was good) but was just nauseaus at the thought.

Yes that has happened to me. But not often... I like my food. But I have gone a day without eating because I have forgoten to eat. I think I was twice as hungry the next day. Why is that? I have no idea. Good question

It is kind of like lack of sleep. After a while you don't feel sleepy at all. I have been hungry while asleep and dreamed of food and
actually could taste the food and woke up actually thinking I had
just eaten.

You feel less hungry after not eating for a while, because your stomach shrinks in size. You should eat though otherwise you will get acid in your stomach and that is painful.

Yes it does. I could be hungry, not eat and later on not be hungry at all. It's like if I ever eat breakfast I get hungry alot sooner. Otherwise I'm fine.

Yeah, i do that too, especially if I'm busy with something. It's something to do with cravings rather than actual hunger apparently. That said, when it does occur to me I should have eaten hours ago, i suddenly feel hungry!

That happens to me all the time. For me, I just find myself really focussed on something...and then I just forget to eat. I usually will stop and eat when I finally get the shakes from low blood-sugar level. I know...I'm weird.

When you have something to concentrate on and get inspired, you forget trivial things like eating. You just have to be careful not to get too carried away.

If I have something to do, then I could go for hrs. without food, but when I am bored (like now), I probably can eat an entire bag o' potato chips.

Because your stomach shrinks a little and your body accepts that there may not be food available. Basic survival instinct.
