Stomach shrinkage?

Does your stomach really shrink or just your appetite? I know from personal experience that when I’m watching what I eat, portion size, after a few weeks it seems like I just can’t physically eat as much anymore at one sitting.

2. Myth or Fact: If you cut down on your food intake, you'll eventually shrink your stomach so you won't be as hungry.
Answer: Myth. Once you are an adult, your stomach pretty much remains the same size -- unless you have surgery to intentionally make it smaller. Eating less won't shrink your stomach, says Moyad, but it can help to reset your "appetite thermostat" so you won't feel as hungry, and it may be easier to stick with your eating plan.

So there you have it. thanks for the link.
