After I eat, I get a bit hungry again 30minutes later!. Also, ever since I was young I've been feeling this lump that moves around in my stomach for about 5seconds, and when I touch it, it goes away !. I've stopped having this a few months ago, but it creeps the fuuuckk out of me!. ( I do have to admit though, I liked the feeling of it )
People have also said it was because I'm Asian ( Vietnamese & French ) and ethnicity would have to do a lot with it!.
