I look at it though, and I feel there is an autonomic component at play, though perhaps it is just not feeling well? I just don't gravitate toward food other than, "doh, I need to eat!" or occassional hunger.

I really do not get hungry too often in the course of the day. Essentially I snack small meals most days and eat a dinner with my family.

When my neuropathy was bad in my ankles, prior to vegandom, I think I ate to endorphin at times. I certainly did for knee pain in the past. I can trace my diabetes kicking up and in lineage if I wanted to.

I was curious how others do with meals and food in general. I used to be pretty enthusiastic about food. Now one in ten meals is really one I get happy over.

A newer coworker always marvels when she sees me eating, as if it is a wonder of the world, hah.
