Yogi: I have been struggling with the feeling of hunger and today it hit the peak of aversion. I was pretty much feeling hungry all the time and was getting annoyed about it.

I didn’t know how to be with it – I felt it wasn’t supporting my practice and decided to eat something in the evening. 

Sayadaw: It takes 2-3 minutes of right attitude and the feeling of burning hunger will go away. 

We always feed ourselves when we’re hungry – it’s hard when we don’t because we’re not used to it and the habit of wanting to eat always comes back. 

Yogi: I was also trying to see the difference between the hunger and wanting to eat.

Sayadaw: It’s good that you try to watch that; and you do what supports the practice.
