Well, actually, my mom found this and sent it to me. I really like the idea of becoming a 3 year old again and crying when you feel hungry and throwing the food when you're full haha. Check it out: http://origin-q.equinox.com/articles/2013/12/nutrition-pov-pillar12

    I liked the last line:
    The takeaway: Tap into your inner child and eat when you’re truly hungry, stop when you’ve had just enough, and hit the pillow early. You knew how to do it once; you can learn it again.

    Very helpful article. I use the same type of scale learned from Weight Watchers, only it was 1-5. You stop eating at 3-4. I like the feeling of not being stuffed. Unfortunately, sometimes small quantities of food have large quantities of calories ...like my current battle with fudge, one of my favorite foods.

    intuitive eating is great i love to watch children eat and lean people. They are so tapped into their body signals. it's a hard way to eat though when you dont know how to listen to your body anymore.
