When you are hungry

Sometimes we don't always get to eat 3 meals a day. Sometimes to be honest I forget to eat I am so busy. When I start to get extremely hungry, I get a little dizzy and kinda cranky. But more of a weak, whiny, I am hungry mood. But when my man does not eat he is cranky and mean and confused. It's like the end of the world with him. This is about the only time we fight. When he tries to argue with me it's like a kid. I have to ask him, have you ate today? Usually that is the exact problem. So how are you when you get really hungry? Is it the end of the world? Can you not think about anything else? Or do you just get a little weak and whiny?

yup i feel the same way as your partner... haha. well i think it's because i get acid reflux whenever i get hungry. and then a headache as well. it makes me irritable to feel these pains , i just can't tolerate the symptoms. but since i already know the consequences of skipping meals , and i know how i react on it, i just do my best to make sure i never have to go on with an empty stomach. i always try to bring snacks with me if i know there'll be a delay in lunch or dinner.

With the kids this is a good time to give them a piece of fruit. My brother gets really out of control if he does not eat. His wife learned long ago to give him orange juice if he is just too crabby. It turns out, at over fifty, that he has become diabetic. They have often had erratic meals, both love to cook, but sometimes they eat out and always eat too much, and it is catching up to him.

Yep that will happen. My older daughter loves to eat healthy. She has always liked good foods. I worry about my younger one she loves sweets and candy too much. She is sneaky about it and tries to get it and hide and eat it. I am worried this may be a problem. I am trying to lessen the amount of sweets that come into our house now. And I also try to keep our meals at a certain time but that is not always possible.

Yes I have to think ahead with him just like the kids. My oldest daughter is just like him. she can't think straight when she is hungry and gets mean. My younger one just gets fussy and tired. I try to make sure we never miss meals. But sometimes things get delayed and we have a late dinner or something. Everyone is having a spaz attack if we don't eat by 7pm.

when i am hungry i usually become pale and weak due to hypoglycemia.. my stomach also growls which is kind of embarrassing if someone will hear it.. :) on the case of my mother, if she is hungry, her hands will start to shake or become spastic.. that is why she always have something in her bag like biscuits, chocolates or candies..

That's the next level after I get dizzy is shaking and this is no fun. I really think if I waited any longer than this I would pass out. Stomach growling is never fun. When I hear my stomach though it seems like no one else ever does. I think we can hear it better because we feel it too. Speaking of I am getting hungry now. haha.

hi natnickeep just a word to the wise, Iused to get just like your
jubby cranky and mean and confused. so I wondered if I might have
something physically wrong so I went to my doctor. A test showed
I was indeed having low blood sugar reactions so had to make some
changes in what I hate. More cautions have him get checked and also
Iam sure his doctor will caution him to keep his weight down as lots of
people who have low blood sugar do put on weight and end up like me
with Diabetes. Low blood sugar makes me really angry and quarrelsome'too which is not my usual way of being.Low blood sugar whininess and fussiness is just the tip of the iceberg as you will pick quarrels for
no good reason at all. So he could have low blood sugar and also be
pre diabetic too. I am so careful now to keep my blood sugar normal and keep a supply of hard candy in my purse too.

Hi. natnickeep. When I get hungry, I will feel very jittery. I was so hungry on yesterday when I got my son off of the school bus, I was eating potato chips. I could not help myself! I did not eat anything, all day long and my hunger was nagging the crap out of me. I get weak and I also get fussy if someone wants me to fix them something to eat when I am hungry. My husband does tend to get mad when he wants to eat and someone would like a bite off of his plate.

Yes I cook us all food and always eat last. I guess that is part of being a mother and wife. Yay, for not eating, or eating cold food. But hey it has it's perks too..we get to see them all smiling right :)

I know what you mean when you say the person gets angry when he or she is angry. I think most of my family members are like that. When they arrive home from work and there's no food ready on the table, they get angry. That's why I dont wanna be left home especially during lunch time cause they are expecting the person left home to cook something.

when i get hungry i eat. i have never taken any notice of whatim like when im hungry so i really cant answer that. i do know that my son gets really cranky when he is hungry and starts shouting at me when i dont let him have anything to eat, especially when its close to teatime.

My older daughter also does this. I let her have a small snack after school. She always comes home starving. And I don't make dinner for another hour or two. There is no way I am having her be cranky that long. LOL. I just can't handle it. And she is very good about still eating her dinner. As long as it's something she likes. If I know I am cooking something she really doesn't like sometimes I say we don't have any snacks. You have to wait till dinner.

Yep me too. I get sad and sulky. I only get grumpy a little if we are all hungry and everyone is grumpy with me first.

I get weak and whiny whenever I am hungry. With the bad economy money has been so tight and I am down to one meal per day. It has been hard, but so far I am managing. I have been getting dizzy and ligth headed lately.

I agree. I have cut down my eating so there is food in the house for the kids. And only been drinking milk like once a week cause that stuff is expensive. It does suck but the kids come first.

I know that i am already very hungry when my head aches already.
This happens whenever my boss calls me for some instructions of things to do for her, just when lunch time is already up. When i am called at this time, i would pop a candy or a small chocolate (which i always have in my drawer, just in case)in my mouth so as not to get so hungry while i am doing what she likes me to do.
Experience has already readied me for such situations.

Me, I'm start to being really annoying when I'm hungry, especially when I want to eat something specific. I just get so nervous and annoying with everyone. Is not a good feeling being hungry, so I think everyone feels likes it was "the end of the world"

Yes I get annoyed also, but more of a sad way where I just want everyone to go away. My man starts to take it out on others. And I have to immediately shove food in his face.

No, I wouldn't say I get angry... just I don't like having relationships when I'm hungry, so I don't speak to people around me, and I tell them not to disturb me. Then, of course, if they go on bugging me (especially with stupid things) I can get quite upset.

See this is what my man does too. But the thing is he doesn't tell the people around him that he is hungry we just have to guess why he is being a butt head.

we are in both the same idea and i did it too.... extreme hungry urges me to eat.... for a busy man he/she forget the meal....
especially when you are a regular Computer and Internet Users, this is very common.
When you feel extreme hungry, your eyes are dizzy, sometimes, you feel your looking an eye of the tiger....

i often forget that i feel hunger especially at work and whenever i am really too busy for anything. believe me. its been terrible these days at the office... its just soo hard... hehe
but i would suggest that you NOT try to skip any meals. its better that youeat a few just so you wont develop ulcer...

I am hungry only when I am too free with nothing to do. On the contrary, if I am on busy on a project, somehow I do not feel hungry. Even when my stomach calls, it will quieten very fast. I feel weak only when I am done with what I am doing. Not due to hunger but fatigue.

I don't get to eat 3 meals a day as well. As I tend to skip breakfast for I always wake up late. Either I eat breakfast and lunch as one or really have to skip breakfast. What I do when i'm hungry though is just lie down in bed think of yesterdays activity and todays much more activities to do. Not much thinking though for my mind has no more energy to think more.

hi,
yeah,being busy sometimes we forget the times to eat,so sometimes we eat on the wrong time,i will not allow to be like this because i could have an ulcer and i need to avoid having this,so that when i feel hungry,i will cook food or i will just buy a food.

I can not think properly of course and I look for something light that can be swallowed immediately like bread or candies and then that will be the time for me to start cooking the heavy meal to completely satisfy the fullness of my stomach, I only need to get away of that hungry feeling.
