I’ve developed a habit of scrolling while eating (um thanks Reddit haha!). Which of course makes it extremely difficult to actually eat mindfully.

When I’ve attempted to eat without distraction I am so bored! But maybe that’s sort of the point? To learn to just enjoy the meal and allow it be neutral rather than something bad or a huge dopamine hit?

Most days I don't feel hungry at all for the entire day. I eat because I have to for life or because I enjoy eating, not because I get hungry. Some days I (regardless of how long after I've woken up it is) once I eat something I feel starving. Sometimes it's like a mental hunger where I want to eat and sometimes I physically feel hungry. I'm a healthy weight so it's not causing me to eat too much/too little overall, so I'm not concerned or anything, just wondering if there's some kind of scientific reason.

Sorry if this is a weird place to post the question, but I can't really figure out where would be appropriate.
