There are some very distinct differences between physical hunger and emotional hunger.
* Physical hunger builds up gradually, starting with a tiny grumble in the stomach, growing to full-grown hunger pangs. Emotional hunger develops suddenly.
* With physical hunger, you can wait if you have to. Emotional hunger seems to demand immediate satisfaction.
* Physical hunger usually appears about 3 hours after the last meal or snack. Emotional hunger can happen anytime.
* Physical hunger is usually a desire for food. Emotional hunger is a desire for a specific food.
* After eating, physical hunger goes away. After emotional eating, the hunger can sometimes persist.
* After eating for physical hunger, you get a sense of satisfaction. After eating from emotional hunger, you feel guilt and shame.

sometimes, hunger can be more thirsty than hungry. if i feel hungry yet I know I should be yet. I try to drink something.
alot of times I find that is what i needed. so many times we forget that drinking water between meaals is important, it can help you get over that afternoon slump.
