Wait 15 minutes!

Something that I read about and I think works really well is after you finish what is on your plate and you still feel hungry (or so you think you do) Wait 15 minutes.. it takes about that long for your food to fill you up and give you that content - full feeling. If you are still hungry after 15 minutes - then maybe go back for more.
I have never gone back for more - this works great!

I have been doing this for a while (yea but not like it really helped me heheheeh) but I usually weight 20 mins after a meal before I ask myself if i am still hungry and then I guzzle some water and ask myself that question again.0

Stupid bodies...why can't it tell you INSTANTLY that you're full...instead you have to go through 15-20 mins of hunger and self-discipline to keep you from eating something else because your brain and your belly haven't connected yet :grumble:0
