I had to do a few errands before going to work today so I didn't get the chance to have breakfast. And then work was so busy that I also didn't get a chance to get any lunch.
By late afternoon, I was already having a full-on headache. I don't know if my boss noticed it, but I was also feeling a little grumpy. I think even to the point that I may have lashed out to a couple of people on the floor.
I hate turning into this kind of monster when I get hungry. After living so many years, one would have thought that I've mastered this primal need.
Do you also turn into a monster when hungry?
Or have you mastered your appetite already? And the time it acts up?
Have you ever lashed out just because of a headache brought about by hunger?

Sweetie, whenever u dont have time to eat breakfast, try to take some fruit to work.
Or i can always send you a sandwich with a bottle of vodka.
That helps for headaches, ya know.
I dont eat much, so i cannot tell you whether i turn into a monster or not.
I only lash out at people who irritate me.

I'm your opposite. Your polar opposite. If I eat first thing in the morning, I would feel sick all day. On work days , I don't have a lunch, I have a huge dinner. And then a snack a few hours later. Once a year I fast , no food nor drink for 24 hours.and once I got so upset that I didn't eat for 32 hours. How do I do it? I don't know.

Oops, it is 36 hours, and no It was anger not disappointment. Not getting the better seat on the bus is a disappointment. The funny part is I don't remember what got me so angry. All I do know is I wuld think about it and I would get angry All over again. So it took a day in a half to get over. So it is wise I don't remember.

Oh, how I can relate with this one. Especially since I am Diabetic, and a lot of mine has to do with my Sugar levels as well. But I do know there are times when I do get so busy doing things around the house, etc. that I forget to eat, or running errands, etc. and when I finally get time to eat all I want to do is PIG OUT or then not hungry, which is not good for me as well.

I was just thinking yesterday that this habit of getting really busy at work, and having no time to sit down to take a breath, and maybe have some lunch, is getting to me. It happens almost everyday now, that I am not liking it. And I also pig out during late afternoon or dinner that it is not really healthy for me.
Not good!
Thanks!

I certainly haven't mastered my hunger. When I'm hungry, I definitely do get a good headache, which can get very painful and very difficult to get rid of. I do get a little grumpy as well. I try to control my grumpiness, but it's not always easy to do.

I CANNOT miss out on a meal - my body and mind won't let me do that. Physically I get very shakey, and then I can't think - and then I can't function period. Yes, I will turn into a monster and there won't be any turning back until I am well fed!! I don't care how busy it gets, I have to eat or I shut down. These days if I don't eat or drink enough, I get bad migraine-ish headaches - and I HATE that - so I try my best to avoid getting them. My hubby will often skip breakfast, or not eat lunch because of heavy duty work - and I don't know how he does that. He will pay for it at the end of the day - he'll be energy-less and be ready to pass out. Lashing out - I might do that with or without hunger - ha ha - but if I get one of those headaches, I know my body will be lashing out at me!!!

Hunger does a lot of things to me. It gives me headache, makes me lose focus, makes me feel light-headed. When I'm really hungry and the food isn't ready yet, be ready for an outburst. :D

I get feeling queasy and HAVE to put something in my stomach. I don't know that I so much get cranky though.

Never, bro. I can master my hunger. I am used to not eating the whole day. You know I like fasting. I fast twice a week. Don't be a slave to food, bro. You can handle it.

I turn into a royal monster when I'm hungry and it is something that I've only started to recognize in the last couple of years.
I think that the reason that I do it is because of the fact that my blood sugar has a tendency of bottoming out and when that happens I sort of get emotionally unstable and thus will get really moody.
With that said, I've found that if I at least eat a little bit of something every three-four hours then I don't turn into that demon.

I guess I don't mind getting hungry as long as I know that there is food readily availble. And I know that there would be time later on to sit down and enjoy the food. I would agree that it would make me appreciate it even more!
The hard part in my case was finding time for it.
Thanks for the response.

I always chose not to eat breakfast befor until I have a stomachache.It takes me many problems in daily life later.
During those non-breakfast day,I rarely felt hungery as a habit.So I thouht it was just ok.But now I've change my mind.With stomachache,I can't stand any little hunger.I'm studying to master my appetite to nourish the stomach.
Wish you healthy!

Hello michelle!
I guess when we're young we really don't mind getting hungry. Or not think about the effects of it later on in life. We all know it's not good, but since we survive, we always think it's OK.
Nowadays, it's not so OK for me.
Thanks and welcome to myLot!

Hunger could cause headache sometimes.
When I feel hungry I always tend to eat even a little.I don't like the feeling of hunger cause it stress me and makes me weak.

i think most of the people will not let themselves to being hungry if possible. since if too hungry, it will cause gastric. for me, i never felt that too hungry will cause me headache, normally will cause me a gastric as the result. so i wont let myself to being hungry, and i cant stand if i feel hungry, i must get something into my stomach, even is just a cup of water. if you feel hungry and no time to eat, just drink more water to fulfill your stomach first, even this cannot stand for a long time, but at least can have something in it. take care

I have mastered my appetite to the extent that when am feeling hungry, i do go on with what ever am doing without making mistake,No matter how hungry i could be, i don't turn into monster nor lashed out due to headache brought about by hungry.
i always love doing things with maturity by preparing myself ahead of anything in the extent that if am feeling hungry and been realize that it's giving me headache, i'll rather leave that thing am doing to rest a bit or get something to eat than not concentrating and end up doing rubbish, i do that even while the examination is going on because i know that if am healthy i'll surely perform better.

You are right. I also hate when I am hungry. I start to be nervous and maybe unpleasant. Best what you can do is have a good eating habits. Eat regularly is very important think. Sometimes I also forget about it. But It is a good idea when you want to aboid for example strange sounds from stomach. I hate it. Expecially when I am sitting somewhere with a croud of people and it starts to sing..:-)
