Sometimes I get the feeling of hunger, but when I wait it out without eating, the painful feeling subsides. Why does this feeling of hunger go away without actually eating anything? Obviously I eventually get hungry again and eat, but I’m wondering why this brief feeling of “okay-ness” occurs.

Your body adjusts. The function of hunger pangs is to alert you to the fact that you need food. If it becomes apparent that you’re not going to get food, it won’t help you to be distracted by hunger pangs, so your body moves on to more important things.
