Walking For Lunch

For the last couple of weeks, I have been using my lunch break for walking.  I found a nearby park that is fairly large and has lots of grass.  I normally don't eat lunch anyways, so this seems to be a good use of my time.

I think feelings of hunger during the day may actually be produced by the lack of physical movement.  For example, during the weekends I don't eat lunch either and sometimes don't even eat breakfast.  But it doesn't seem like a big deal because I keep active throughout the day.  Yet in the office, I have a much greater desire for food during the day.  My guess is that the sedentary nature of the office environment causes hunger mechanisms to malfunction.
