Signs of Hunger

Signs of hunger, like any experience, are unique to you! Did you know hunger doesn’t happen just in our tummies? In fact, by the time a lot of us feel gurgling in our tummy, we’re ravenous! Here are other hunger signs:

• Stomach: rumbling, gurgling, gnawing, emptiness.

• Throat/esophagus: dull ache, gnawing.

• Head: Cloudy thinking, light-headed, headache, difficulty focusing and concentrating. Having more thoughts about food.

• Mood: Irritable, cranky. Have to work hard to refrain from snapping, even if you don’t appear irritable.

• Energy: waning, sleepy, dullness, apathy, numbness, lethargy.

.

How do you feel hunger? Make sure you have self-compassion as you explore hunger and fullness. We all experience all ends of this spectrum! No judgment or shame. It’s a journey.
