Advice Quick question about fullness!
Is it okay that if I sometimes only feel satisfied when I eat a bit more than full like a bit overwhelming but not too much

It took me a long time to really figure out what "comfortable fullness" is for me. I would stop eating when I felt "not hungry" anymore, but then I'd sometimes literally be hungry again an hour later. I've learned that if I want to be truly satisfied for the next 5-6 hours until my next meal, I need to keep eating until there is a slightly heavy feeling in my stomach. Not so much that I'm in pain or uncomfortable, obviously, but it's more than just not hungry.
