I eat when I am not hungry only if I am not preoccupied with something else. I guess you can say it is something to do when bored; if you sit there long enough, lets say watching TV, then you see food commercials causing you to think more and more about food, which makes you go digging through the cabinets.
I often eat when I'm not hungry because it's purely a social thing. If you're around friends or family or other people and you see them eating or you get into deep conversation when there is food around it's really easy to just start eating because it's habit.
Sometimes i eat when I'm not hungry becuase i am usually bored and not doing anything so my body focuses more on the hunger. Usually when i am busy, I am able to ignore hunger for a longer period of time
There is no explanation I can think of other than I crave the taste of something, and have to have it right then and there. Also, the Caf is open at weird times, and sometimes I am forced to eat when I am not hungry, because I am afraid I will get hungry later if I don't eat then.
I eat when I am not hungry because I am often bored and I eat to pass the time. This is possibly a reason that I am over weight. I am working to fix that though. Now when I am bored I find something to do to keep from being bored, instead of eating.
I eat when I'm not hungry mostly out of bordom. When I am bored my body has nothing to do so I constantly think I must eat to have something to do. This is a horrible habbit that I wish I would break.
I think Ieat when I'm not hungry just straight out of boredom. If I am busy and have my mind on other things, it doesn't happen. However, if I have nothing to do, there are times I find myself looking around in the kitchen just for the fun of it.
I eat when I am not hungry usually because I am bored or just like the taste of the particular food. Sometimes when I am procrastinating doing homework I eat. I feel that for the most part I eat when I am bored. I do not know if it is just me or if other people but when I see people eating on television I get the urge to eat. Sometimes I eat when I am not hungry just because I know that I have to. For example, if I have a soccer game at 4oclock I will make sure to eat a big breakfast and a light lunch just because I know I need the food for energy. Even if I am not hungry I make sure to eat because I know it is what my body needs to function at it’s best.
I tend to eat when I am not hungry because I am bored. I just get carried away and find that I dont have much else to do and choose to eat. Food is something that I enjoy very much and eating fills my cravings daily.
I eat when I am not hungry out of boredom. I find myself doing this mostly when I am sitting at home watching television relaxing or if I am around others that are eating. Food is something that can easily become abused, a lot of times my mind thinks before my stomach.
I love food, regardless of how hungry I am, so usually I eat a lot when I'm in my dorm, especially when I'm stressed. It takes my mind off the work load I have.
I tend to eat when I am not hungry because I am bored or if it is a rainy day. I also sometimes eat when I am not hungry when trying to get the proper amount of nutrition in after a workout.
I eat when I am not hungry when I see something that looks really appetizing. When I see it my body automatically starts to crave it. It is no fun to not satisfy your craving.
Unfortunately, if my mind isn't occupied I feel like I am constantly "starving." Anytime I don't have something to do, you can find me eating more than likely.
I am in a habit of eating at a certain time during the day. I have a two-year old that I make every meal for and I make them around the same time every day. I am in a habit of making myself food along with hers and sitting down and eating. I am usually never hungry when I eat at those times.
I am a stress eater, so I eat quiet often whenever I am not hungry. Most of the time it i because i know I will be hungry late, so if I do not eat whenever everyone else is, then i will be hungry later.
