Do you have a "FULL" sign?
Not sure if how many times this has been discussed here, but I always find it fun – especially for the newbies …
How can you tell when you “have had enough" – I mean besides the “full" feeling.
I can tell because I get two big (silent) “burps" (one right after the other). That’s when I know my body it telling me “time to quit eating".
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Hiccups definately are a sign for me. The first hiccup means start slowing down and waiting between bites. The second hiccup means stop now.
It seems that the more Im desiring a food....the less I can eat. If I pick out something REALLY yummy...like going out with friends and picking something from the menu ahead of time and thinking about it...the less I can eat when I get there. Does that make sense to ANYONE? LOL I dont know if its the anticipation or what. DH says from now on, not to tell SYBIL what Im planning to eat ahead of time so she cant act up!

yep -- my 'soft stop' is a little burp or two.
I have tried a few times to wait a minute and then keep eating, and I hav been sorry every time.
My stubborn little brain wants to finish what is on my plate even when my band does not.
My stubborn little brain is finally learing that the "Band Knows Best" --- time to stop means time to stop!
