How do YOU know when you're FULL?

I know everyone is different but I'd like to hear about everyone's different "methods" or "signs", etc. for knowing when they should STOP eating?

Is it a tightness in your chest? Something in your throat? In your tummy? Psychological (e.g., you KNOW you should be full after eating a cup of food and so you ARE full)? PBing??

How do YOU know when you've had enough? And how do YOU stop yourself from eating some more?

  • Magic, I saw you mention on your other post that you have been drinking fluids with your meals. This, as you know now, could be why you're able to get around that 'stop signal'. Also, if you are like

I have never felt that pain or tightness that others have described. I loved Jack's answer.

In my case it is more of a gentle sensation. I feel satisfied/no longer hungry and actually full. If I feel any discomfort, I know I have overdone it a bit. When my nose starts running or I hiccup I know to start looking for that full or satisfied feeling. I may not get either of those things every meal, so I have to eat slow to recognize it which I do anyway because of the band.

I eat on small, salad or dessert plates. I eat in bowls those things that need to be in bowls, but those things I measure because all I have is the large soup/cereal bowls.
