Pretty Random - Why Do I get hungry when I cry?
920294
When you cry (this sounds corny but....) everything inside of you gets very worked up, you've been alive long enough to have eaten a lot of different things, chocolate, sugars, salt, any kind of food, your body knows what foods will stimulate, or calm your nerves, therefore causing you to want food.

It may be a nocebo, everyone's nose either clogs or runs after crying, but if you relate it to allergies the nocebo effect kicks in and you THINK you are allergic to something, and thus you "are" :P

It's all psychological and "anatomical (?):" When you hear something that's emotionally painful to you, your brain starts to think differently and asks and answers multiple questions at the same time, consciencely or subconsciencely. To some point of this simultaneous complex thinking, it will tell the tear ducts to expel tears for no reason. Also, it will have some kind of pain around your heart (the heart-break feeling).\n\nI don't know exactly why the brain does that, but I think it's merely psychological. All animals do not cry for emotional or physical pain (salt-water crocodiles "cry" to expel salt). My hypothesis would be that sometime millenias ago, crying was a sign of sadness in some way, then, as evolution takes place, it just becomes embedded in our mind that the instinct when we're in pain, we tend to cry. But that's just my hypothesis and to my extent of my knowledge.\n\nPS Penguins!!!

I agree with the other respondent, you need to tackle the issue as to what causes you to use food to comfort yourself when you are emotional. There are groups like Overeaters Anonymous who can help you, or you could find a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. As far as getting a handle on it - the second you realize you are in a situation where you're going to go for food in response to your emotions, whip out a notebook, write down what you are feeling & what brought on the need to feed. Remove yourself from the stress so you won't eat - & if you do eat before you stop & write the cause, write down what you ate, as well. A lot of sites recommend that you keep a journal of everything you eat each day so as to have a better idea WHY you're eating & WHAT you grab when the urge hits. It's not hard to fall into an emotional eating pattern - after all, what do we do for a good time? Get together with friends for a meal or snacks! What do we do at weddings, funerals, any family functions? We eat! When you get bored, munch a bag of chips in front of the tv. Go to a hockey game - get goodies at the breaks! It's so hard to avoid emotional eating.  But if you can work to identify what sets you off, you are really ahead in the game. So get a notebook & start writing. Good luck - hang in there, it can be done.

its neurogical response to ur inner state of mind. when u are happy or sad the nerves get activated as a result of which ur tear glands activates and hence the tears.

Because u can develop an addiction, or ur body needs more salt, fats, etc.\n\nCravings r just ur body SCREAMING for something in particular, i.e vitimans, minerals etc\n\nFor example if u are craving an ice cream ur body may need calcium, so have a glass of milk, or a piece of cheese :D

YOur body might be craving something it's missing like calcium.  You lose a lot of nutrients when you bleed and possibly bone mass too.  Dark chocolate is good for your heart and full of anti oxidents.  Indulge in a little hand full of dark chocolate hershey's kisses or something right when your craving that.  Not too many though or it will go to your thighs.

Maybe you should focus less on your weight and more on how you feel. You are hungry after you walk because your body needs fuel. This is normal. Keep walking and eating healthy and throw away your scale. Love the amazing woman that you are!

Its strange, go see a doctor.  My guess would be excess gas or food allergy...;

Have you tried drinking more.  I know it sounds bizarre but sometimes the body confuses hunger with thirst.  Next time you feel hungry try drinking some water first maybe it will do the trick.

because if you feel deprived or denied of something (food in your case); you want to fill that void with something else, to satisfy another craving.  Both bring you comfort; you're just substituting one for the other.

Your eyes run water when you laugh for the same reason they run water when you cry. Certain emotional responses activate the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. When the parasympathetic system is stimulated, it causes the tear glands to secrete fluid. Therefore, your eyes run water. Like most things, it varies from person to person and some people have more response than others. Don't worry about it. Enjoy the laughter.

I don't know...\n\nBut the feeling and pain, comes from the brain... Try thinking about other stuff, when you go from full to hungry... I think its better to think than to puke (if you eat too much)\n\nEating slowly might help...

To sometimes cry about a dead son is normal. Compulsive eating is an attempt to fill a void that can't be filled with food. You have a choice: staying stuck or moving on. I see you moving on. Crying sometimes, laughing sometimes. "The full catastrophe", as Zorba the Greek said.

Eating is usually a way of suppressing something that is bothering you.  Find out what you are stressing about, work on that and your hunger will subside.  Sounds weird but is true.

you are probably eating the wrong kinds of food or eating from boredom not hunger

Crying is an emotional reaction to a thought or stimulation, just like joy or anger.  Any emotional reaction produces a release of adrenaline and hormones into the bloodstream causing the body muscles to tense up for a fight-or-flight response.  However, this release can over produce adrenaline and actually cause your diaphragm - a muscle moving the lungs - to stiffen and stop breathing.  If severe enough, the adrenaline can even produce heart attacks.
