10 Times We Are All Guilty Of Eating Even Though We Aren't Hungry

I think we all know a little bit about stress-eating.

10 Times We Are All Guilty Of Eating Even Though We Aren't Hungry
Caroline Keeter

I was watching "Family Feud" the other day when Steve Harvey told a family to "Name a time you eat when you aren't hungry". As a result, this article was created. I am not necessarily proud of all the times I eat when I'm not hungry but hey, we're all human.

1. In awkward situations.

When situations get awkward, food is always there to fill the silence and can even be a conversation starter.

2. When we're sad or lonely.

There is nothing more classic than a girl eating an entire Ben & Jerry's pint of ice cream after a breakup.

3. When we're angry.

Sometimes I work out when I'm mad...sometimes I eat instead.

4. When we're bored.

This has got to be one of my most frequent mistakes in life.

5. When we're anxious.

Nervous eating is most definitely a real thing. Mac and cheese is called comfort food for a reason.

6. When watching a movie.

Because eating popcorn while watching a movie just seems natural.

7. When people around us are eating.

Prime example: a friend asks you to go to dinner, but you just ate. You agree to go "just sit with them while they eat". Somehow, you find yourself ordering food alongside your friend.

8. When annoyed.

*rolls eyes* *eats food*

9. When we're stressed.

Anyone who has experienced finals season in college knows what stress-eating is all about.

10. When the food is just too good to resist.

Do you think Guy Fieri is actually hungry every time he tries a dish on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"? I doubt it.

What is the cure for boredom, loneliness, AND stress? Food. Always food.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
