My goodness, all day today I have felt hungry no matter how often I eat! It's just one of those days where I eat something and it only satisfies my hunger for an hour or two before I feel the need to be eating or munching on something else.
I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, followed by a big bowl of homemade chili for lunch. I was hungry before dinnertime, so I had a snack of a yogurt and english muffin with peanut butter on it (thinking the protein would satisfy my hunger!). A few hours later I served dinner (pasta salad, corn, and boneless BBQ ribs). Not long after that I shared a bag of popcorn with my husband and a friend while we watched a movie, and ate a small handful of chocolate covered peanuts. Now I just got done eating another bowl of cereal because my stomach was growling! And I'm still hungry...
I wonder if it's hormones or something as it's almost "that time of the month" and hormones are all out of whack.
What could it be and does this happen to you? It doesn't happen to me very often but when it does I feel like such a pig!

It happens to me whenever I am just at home and doing nothing. It's like my craving is endless and that it won't even end anytime soon. It's hard that way. The best thing to do with that is to keep myself busy and do productive things. With it, I would focus on other things.

Yeah, I get boredom munchies once in a while, too. This was different. I was busy all day and my stomach was literally growling shortly after a meal. I don't get it :)
