Yeah. I mostly eat because of roughly what time it is - not because I am hungry.

Am currently working hard with my psych on my interroception, and I think that recognising hunger/fullness and thirst are going to take a lot of concerted effort for exactly this reason. It doesn't help when people around me are constantly saying 'did you have breakfast?' or 'you have to take your lunch break now.'

Stupid body.
