Do you usually eat till you're full or just eat till you're not hungry anymore?

Unfortunately, I have very poor eating habits. I'll skip a meal or two some days, with various excuses like "I can't afford it" or "I should lose weight anyway" (even though I'm at a very healthy weight). Other times - usually on weekends - I'll graze constantly, finishing up one snack and then having another very soon after.

Until I'm full

I can't stand to feel full. I always eat just till I'm not hungry anymore. Learned about this in a nutririon class I took in college years ago and it helps greatly with the whole digestion/distribution process if you only eat till your not actually hungry anymore. It takes a really conscious effort sometimes.

I usually eat until I'm full, that's why I weigh 200 pounds and I am only 5'2". Bad idea :(

I usually don't even eat unless I'm hungry...but I stop eating when I'm not hungry anymore.

It depends on what's available. Mostly I just try to finish the portion I have. But if I get full I quit.

If I go out to eat, I eat until I'm full. If I am just at home, I try to just eat a regular amount so I'm not hungry anymore.

Unfortunately, frequently, I eat until I'm no longer hungry and go right on eating.

I eat until my meal is done--usually at that point I'm just not hungry; I  usually don't eat until I'm full. I've never liked the sensation of being full.

I usually eat until I'm full, except when eating breakfast. then I eat until I am satisfieds.

I have vowed many times never to eat until I'm stuffed again and I usually stick to it. But occasionally I still do that though I'm slowly learning to eat only until I'm not hungry anymore.

Isn't that the same thing...just phrased differently?

I tend to eat untill I'm full, but only if i'm in a relaxed environment. Otherwise I either eat until i'm not hungry anymore, or I eat something just for the pleasure of tasting it.

That depends on whether or not I like the food. If it's good, I eat until I'm full. If it's ok, I eat until I'm not hungry.

i haven't been too hungry at all lately, so probably the latter is closer to right for me. . ..
