What is head hunger?

[joatsaint 2,814]

Head Hunger for me is a craving for sweets or carbohydrates
without feeling any physical signs of hunger.

My stomach is full or at least not empty
and I don't feel the normal sensation of real hunger.

Pre-surgery, my Head Hunger came in the form of a craving
for a particular flavor... hamburgers, fries, cherry pie, ect.

Post-surgery, my Head Hunger is more generic,
just a general feeling that I want to eat, no particular flavor though.

If you are hungry "for" a particular kind (or kinds) of food, that is head hunger. If you find yourself thinking "I could go for a burger" or "I need a cupcake" or "surely there is something crunchy and salty in these cupboards" -- that is head hunger. But if you are hungry and *anything* short of roasted kittens or fricasseed human flesh sounds good, then you are probably actually hungry.
