In France, they are taught to stop eating when they are no longer hungry.

It's a subtle difference, yet intriguing. I've tried to retrain my thinking in this manner. I don't want to feel full. I just want to be "no longer hungry".
Maybe.

I know that I am never full and I am always hungry. I just aim for "less full" and "less hungry."
