Have you ever entered your kitchen and opened the fridge and nothing looked appealing to you? Then you drift off to the pantry and it's the same story. Nothing appealing. So you go back to the fridge and expect something new to be sitting on the shelf, or you've lowered your standards for what you're hungry for. First ask yourself if you're really hungry, because it could just be thirst. People commonly mistake hunger for thirst or boredom, so they go and grab a bag of chips or make a sandwich.
