Wow this is weird, I was hoping someone would ask a question like this!.
I've been thinking about this a lot too, it started the other night when I was in bed!. I was sort of moving my legs and stuff, you know that restless leg syndrome thing!? Kind of like that!. I thought to myself "My body has been on the go since this morning, and I can't even let myself just relax and use this time to sleep and let it repair itself!." It was kind of amazing to feel the sensation of just lying still and breathing, and it's weird to get used to actually listening to and understanding what your body is telling you!
I have found that trying to work out whether you're genuinely hungry or bored is difficult to start with if you're used to just eating whenever!. The best way to get round this is see if the feeling passes in about 5 minutes!. If it doesn't, then drink a glass of water!. The feeling of being thirsty is so close to the feeling of being hungry that some people have a hard time differentiating between the two! Drink a glass of water, it wil help!
Also, never let yourself get TOO hungry, as this can lead to over-eating!. And when you sit down to a meal, eat slowly and chew properly!. There is a time delay between putting the food in your mouth and it getting to your stomach, so you won't know whether you've had enough immediately - it's best to eat slowly, that way you give your body time to register the food and tell you when you've had enough!.
