Why is it on days I don’t want to eat

Why is it on days where I'm in the kitchen all day making a huge meal, then don't want anything to eat?

And on days where there's nothing to eat, I'm starving?

I think there's been research that shows that over-stimulation from aromas while cooking can temporarily sate any desire to eat.  I think some company has even tried using that for dieting.

There has to be something to this. Like, when we cook Thanksgiving, disco and I will not eat lunch. We will wait until that night to eat. Just not hungry at all after making all that food.

I dunno about this. Over the years I consistently see cooks, chefs, and food workers in general sneak or just outright hound food. That being said, making the same thing over and over can make you numb to it, especially if you're actually eating it, too. 

Chicken place I used to work at would allow employees to take home certain items at the end of the day if there were any leftovers. Seemed too good to be true, but I quickly saw that no one else was grabbing much, if anything, most days. We only served a handful of items, so it got old fast. Most nights I was bringing home food was for someone else, like a roommate or neighbor. But I'll be damned if I didn't grab a honey mustard chicken roll for myself most days.
