Actually, thinking you should be hungry while not actually hungry is pretty common. I once lost a great deal of weight by simply not eating unless I actually felt hunger - we often eat because there's food around or because it's a mealtime instead of because we're hungry. (The weight loss alarmed my pediatrician and she told me to stop doing whatever I was doing, and I've never been able to reduplicate the feat.)

That's a good point - I'll bear it in mind.
