I recently ate a big lunch and I feel full (even too full) but I also feel hungry somehow. There’s a lot of saliva in my mouth and I have the urge to go to the fridge, but if I do and look inside then the thought of eating any of the foods that I’m looking at feels unappealing. I leave without eating anything but then I feel the urge to go right back again.

This isn’t unusual for me but I don’t know why it happens. Maybe it’s because I’m feeling anxious and the anxious part of me wants to eat to feel better even though my stomach is full? Or maybe I don’t feel satisfied because I didn’t eat the right nutrients?

    Since you put a sincere effort into answering me, I will retaliate.

    Usually I’m in a state of “I could eat.” This is even true if I intellectually am aware it’s a bad idea. If you put something my taste buds enjoy in front of me, unless I am physically at capacity, I will probably consume it.

    I don’t really have a healthy relationship with food.

      Samesies. It’s a horrible relation with food. I’m always thinking about what I’m going to eat next, even as I’m eating.
