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?
Most common reason for this is thirst.
I used to get this sometimes. Turnes out my body doesn’t process fructose well. Look into FODMAPs if none of the other suggestions work for you (usually the FODMAP thing requires an elimination diet, I just lucked out due to weird circumstances)
I had a dream that elon musk was assasinated and there was a massive funeral procession in DC where they buried him under a golden statue of himself sitting like lincoln. Then i woke up on sept 10th lmao
Really tripped me out
I feel this way often. I don’t eat very often, so I always figured I was hungry for more than I could physically eat at once.
How’s your water intake? Sometimes the thirst signal gets confused.
I agree with everyone saying its thirst. Drink a big glass of water.
Are you maybe thirsty?
Yeah. Because I smoke a lotta weed and get the munchies, even if I just ate.
I have felt full still wanted to eat tasty things.
Yes, it’s why I’m fat
Do you ever not?
Usually I feel a more normal “I’m full but I could eat more because that was tasty.” I have also felt “I haven’t eaten all day but the thought of eating disgusts me,” but that was definitely a side effect of a medication I was taking at the time.
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.
I get food cravings while full, but that’s what gum is for.
Makes you wonder how ofen they feed this perfectly healthy kid pizza.
Yeah I’ve felt similarly before. I agree with the other though, drinking more water helps.
I find that if I really pay attention, I feel true hunger from my abdomen/stomach and craving food from my mouth. I think what you are describing is being full but WANTING/CRAVING more food.
