My body does it all wrong!!

Okay, this is something VERY weird I have noticed... I dont eat because Im hungry, I eat because Im cold!

Yeah. Like, I never feel hungry. I eat 3500+ calories a day, but STILL Im freezing all the time! Except just after eating. A few hours from a meal and I start feeling cold... So I eat. But hunger... Wheere aare yoou?

Has anyone experienced this?

I have experienced slightly what you are talking about.  After eating a rather large meal...aka dinner my biggest meal of the day almost everyday...i get like a hot flash and feel like an old lady =] lol.  I have started to get hungry so often which is great..but also annoying...especially when youre sitting in class with your stomach growling 30 mins after lunch and you have already eeaten all your snacks.  Ha but i am cold almost always....except right after that large meal...and i look sick before and after it but in different ways.  like before i look like a starving ghost and after im like tomatoe red in the face and sweating like some body builder who just lifted weights.  Now this doesnt happen everyday...but its happened quite a few times and ive gotten totally used to it but find it extremely wierd and entertaining =]

but maybe your body has just not adjusted completely yet to the higher amount of cals so your not getting hungry since you are eating so much more than you used to? just a thought =]

Hey, don’t worry, this happens to other people and it is not uncommon!

When I was too thin I got VERY cold and I DEFINITLY got comfort from eating! Cold is uncomfortable and unpleasant and we have felt it to a PAINFUL extent therefore eating is just a distraction to take some people’s mind of it.

Also, eating does raise body temperature as your body has to work to digest the food so it literally warms your body up which is why you may grave the sensation.
