    Default I don't feel hunger. (TW)

    I'm rarely ever actually hungry so I can go for quite a while without eating, but then I'll be like "I should eat something." and so I do but then that one thing turns into 20 things, but I never feel a bit of hunger, but I just keep eating. It's like my body is unable to feel hunger pains or something. I mean, every now and then I do, but not as often as I would guess a person is supposed to. I hate it.

    This is typical for somebody with and eating disorder. We get completely out of touch with hunger.
    Being hungry is a sign of health. When you eat "normal" for a period of time, supposedly you will start to notice hunger again.

    A lot of the time you may have ignored hunger signs, so you no longer recognise them...then it just becomes compulsion to eat-like when you go ages without eating and then devour everything in sight! I think if you try and pay attention, it is possible to train yourself to recognise hunger again, it might just take some practise.

    The same thing happens to me. Whenever I should feel hungry (lunchtime/dinnertime) I just feel that acidic pain in my stomach from being empty and it makes me want to eat even less. Most times I have to force myself to eat or when I feel actual hunger pains try as best I can not to ignore them.

    I'm not flawed, I'm just an excellent example of being human.

    My hunger signal is all fucked up too. It just doesn't turn on like my husbands. He's always hungry. When he wakes up, at lunch, at dinner, and a million other times throughout the day. I eat dinner because I feel lightheaded and can't think, not because I have hunger pains. But then I can't stop. My full signal doesn't work either. When he is full, he stops eating. I stop eating when all the food is gone.
    I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy,
    I've been living on coffee and nicotine.
    I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
    Were ever real, were ever really happening.
