How your body tells you you’re FULL!!!
I lost 88 pounds & got into the best shape of my life. I’ve learned a lot.
They can be super subtle signs!
1. Light pressure in your stomach
2. The food doesn’t taste as exciting or flavorful as the first couple bites
3. You catch yourself sighing
4. Subconsciously you start moving your plate around or rearranging things on the plate or your utensils.
5. you start paying more attention to your surroundings or conversation than to your plate
6. you start fidgeting or repositioning yourself in the seat more often.
Your brain will always try to trick you to keep going and that more is better but if you begin to listen to your body then you will get better with practice! If you struggle with overeating then start paying attention next time you sit down to eat. See if you notice any of the things above.

Understanding how your body signals fullness can significantly aid in weight management and mindful eating. Common indicators include a light pressure in the stomach, a loss of excitement in flavors, and subtle shifts in your behavior, such as sighing or fidgeting. Being attuned to these signs can prevent overeating and promote a healthier relationship with food. For example, as you dine, pay attention to whether your food loses its appeal after a few bites, a clear signal that you may be reaching your limit. Additionally, if you find yourself engaging more deeply in conversation or distracted by your surroundings, it’s a good indication that your focus on eating might be waning, signifying fullness. Start noticing these cues during meals to cultivate a more mindful eating experience. Practicing mindfulness while eating can help recalibrate your hunger cues over time. Gradually learning to recognize when your body feels satisfied will empower you to make healthier choices, support your weight loss journey, and improve overall wellness. To establish these habits, set aside time to eat without distractions, savor each bite, and regularly check in with your body's signals.
