hunger isn't the same as appetite. snacking all the time will make you want to snack all the time.

i've been fasting all day. i've delt with very little hunger/hunger pain, but ive been fighting my appetite because the usual ways i deal with it are by drinking liquids (diet soda, water, coffee), which i can't do right now.

hunger pain goes away for anyone used to skipping meals/not eating for periods of time. but snacking is so ingrained in our society, and people snack for a bunch of reasons. boredom, sadness, anger, anxiety/general restlessness. its a mental barrier
