I agree that I have the hunger pains → thinking about food TAP. This seems like a lizard-brain instinct. I think classifying the series of actions to get the yogurt as a TAP would be misleading, since it suggests it’s much more automatic than reality. My modal response to “thinking about eating” is “disregard it”.
Not nearly as often as it does to my friends with ADD, but sometimes. (I’ve considered the possibility that I have ADD, but no therapist/psychiatrist to date has seriously considered it; my probability mass on that possibility is centered on “this was masked by depression and confused for anxiety”.)
Possibly-relevant wrinkles: I have a tendency to plan a discrete sequence of actions in advance and then execute them all at once. I find it significantly more difficult to go grab food when it involves passing through common areas (i.e. may contain other humans).
