Or do you tuff it out?  We really should feel good and hungry a couple of times of day.  Our body makes us think we need food a lot more than we really do (if we are eating healthy).  You aren't feeding your stomach, after all, you're feeding your blood.

But stomach pangs can be PAINFUL.  Do you endure it?  Do you think you HAVE to eat, then?  Do you have tricks to get by those times of day?

 

Hmmm

I've found that brushing my teeth makes them go away, for awhile, for some reason.
Marianne R. Jun 9, 2008, 5:27pm EDT

I don't know why your getting pains between meals, maybe you should consult a doctor.
Holly G. Jun 9, 2008, 5:33pm EDT

Juan J Martinez Jun 9, 2008, 5:37pm EDT
I normally wait it out, if I do something it is normally drink a Coke.

Drink water, unless it is a craving for chocolate then I have chocolate!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Jun 9, 2008, 5:46pm EDT
DARK chocolate is very good for you. Always give in to that !!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Jun 9, 2008, 5:49pm EDT
Are you kidding, JoAnne, I don't have a doctor, and it doesn't HURT hurt, it's just common hunger pangs - common as dirt.

I can see walking into the emergency room. "I have hunger pangs". They point me to the vending maching. ha hahaha
ann c. Jun 9, 2008, 5:51pm EDT
ANY chocolate is good for me!
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Jun 9, 2008, 6:06pm EDT
It depends on how food is in teh house. If I only have enough for meals. Than I don't eat lunch. Hard to cook for one with no left overs and everything is for a meal.

I get scared when I get hungry because I think my sugar's going to go haywire (daibetes causes paranoia, I think.) So I try to eat something healthy, like a couple of graham crackers or a sugar-free granola bar.
Peter Joseph Swanson Jun 9, 2008, 6:25pm EDT
I like a few peanuts. They feel nice.
J F. Jun 9, 2008, 6:48pm EDT

I drink a lot of unsweetened iced tea with lemon. It helps stave off the hunger pangs.
Chick J. Jun 9, 2008, 7:36pm EDT
I am going to try that Kimberly Ripley.
Chick J. Jun 9, 2008, 7:36pm EDT
If not, I will eat.
I just eat~
Sue * Jun 9, 2008, 8:35pm EDT
Blood sugar issues...have to eat, granola bars with me all the time!

Chew gum. Orbit Spearmint is my favorite. 'Cause I usually have a dirty mouth and need to clean it up, I guess. Well, not sailor filthy, but filthier than most, I'm sure. Ohhhh, what you people on Gather don't know! I'm so ... contained on Gather. You're welcome for being spared.
gautami tripathy Jun 10, 2008, 6:49am EDT
I go for fruits. An apple keeps the hunger at bay!
Kay & Snowy Cat Jun 10, 2008, 7:17am EDT
I like to "tough" it out. Builds character. Peter are paying tribute to Christopher Columbus or Leonardo Da Vinci?--can't tell.
