    I don't feel "full" in the way I used to...though arguably I feel "full" in a new way, i.e., I feel satisfied.

    Just a bit ago as I polished off my medium rare ribeye steak with steamed veggies and an apple... sorry you don't feel full anymore.

    Yesterday.

    I went to an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet for lunch at noon. Completely screwed up my day, as well as my macros. I overloaded on creamy sauces, and carbs. Got very little in the way of lean protein. I was full until after 7:30 pm. I forced myself to eat some lean meat for extra protein for dinner before the gym, but my heart wasn't in it because I just wasn't hungry.

    Lesson learned. Maybe.

    I felt full yesterday.

    But, the last time I felt full to the point of pain and like I was going to vomit was probably not since I was a kid.

    I used to eat like that, stuffing burgers in my face till I couldn't move. Ugh, don't miss it. Feeling very full right now after a couple of chicken wraps with lots of salad. Yum!

    I used to stuff myself into food comas all the time - it's part of what got me to a very unhealthy weight. Last weekend I did a bit of an experiment. There was some leftover red sauce with meat and veg from Friday night's dinner so I heated that up with a few turkey meatballs, cooked up a 2 oz serving of elbow macaroni and topped it all off with a little shredded parm. All of that filled up one of our big bowls (about 2 cups).

    I used to suck down a bowl full of pasta and sauce like that no problem and be ready to follow it up with a pint of Ben & Jerry's but I only got about halfway through the bowl and I couldn't eat another bite. Bonus - I had lunch for the next day all set up.

    September 1st, Masala Grille Indian dinner buffet. I didn't eat to the point of feeling sick, but I was FULL. It was actually uncomfortable since I haven't done that in over a year.

    As a matter of fact I rarely feel 'full' anymore, even though most of the time I'm not unbearably hungry either. I have made peace with this "not full but not hungry" state.
    Have you got used to it?
    Yup, today was the perfect example. Previous when I went to a Asian/American style buffet, I'd eat 4-5 plates. I went today (only 2nd time this year) and I only ate 2 plates ever though it was the first thing I had to eat/drink today. Truth be told, I could've walked away after the 1st plate (100% sushi) but my eyes/mind were still hungry for stuff on the hot tables. My eyes/mind did not want to leave without hitting the hibachi grill at least once, but my stomach said, "Nah, we're at a good point here." Old me would've "made room" for the 3rd plate, but "new/currently" me said, "Time to go". I did get a small scoop of ice cream to cleanse my pallet though.
    It was a good thing that I left. When I got home, I remembered that I hadn't taken my vitamins today. I took them with 8 oz of OJ as I usually do and I was barely able to do it. That's proof that the 3rd plate would've made me miserable.
    I'm much better than I was, but sometimes I still have to consciously remind myself to "stop... and feel the full".

    Maybe once a month when I eat Chinese food. In general I don't really have a happy medium. Before I started using MFP I only ate to the point of being sick. Now, I only eat to get satisfied (not full). I have too many emotional issues with food, so I know there is a lot of underlying problems there that I'll have to address at some point if I want to keep this weight off.

    Isn't this question kind of like asking 'have you ever been happy?' It depends on when you ask - right after a meal? Yeah sure I am good; half an hour later... well I can't eat every half hour! That is the problem with water I think, it helps you feel fuller quicker and is healthier (drink-wise) but it doesn't seem to keep me satisfied.


    Oh and any day I wake up on the right side of the bed, yes I am a very happy person!
