I know what you mean! It's like you just want to keep eating even though you feel stuffed but not completely stuffed. You know you ate enough food for the day but you can't stop. I think it's a matter of self control. I have this problem too, which is why I am gaining more weight as well. We just love to eat, but we have to be able to control ourselves and our "hunger". I think a lot of this overeating happens because we let it happen. Sometimes we don't really realize that we have taken in too much food, yet sometimes we do realize it but yet we still let it happen. I really do think it's a matter of self control and being able to stop when you realize that you've eaten too much. I, myself am practicing this as well. I'm learning to control what and how much I eat for each meal so that I don't gain a crazy amount of weight.

Some people are like that when they are confronted with problems they have difficulty identifying or they really have problems which they deny it is exists. You might be upset with something else. Try to find it out! Eating with full stomach is sometimes dangerous as it cause pancreatitis.

Sometimes I'm also like that even if I'm already full I still want to eat. Right now I limit my food intake because for the past 3 years I gained so much weight. I'm also stop eating at night because I gain weight easily. My metabolism is very slow that's why I'm limit my rice intake and tried to exercise as much as I can.

it's only in your mind, first to fight for eating more even your full, don't think that leftover food are waste if they are not consume, pop them in the fridge then eat it tommorrow, second to avoid to eat again after meal, brush your teeth with higher amount of chloride, this way you can fight food cravings...remember, no matter your age and weight our tummy has limited amount of processing the food and conveting it to energy, so excess of this amount will be converted to fats in our body...

do you mean you do not have supper now? good eating habits is important for us and having regular meals is one of them. it's good for us to have three meals a day. some people do not have breakfast while some do not have supper. it's not good for our health because if we skip one meal, we tend to have more in other meals. so having regular meals is a good way to avoid eating more.

Sometimes I'm full but I ate so much and can't stop, it's not good for our stomach to have full,because it increased the burden to stomach.I had a big tummy too.

I like eating,when my favorite food is in front of me,i can not stop eating until it disappeared.I think eat is a kind of custom,we must control ourselves for a long time to form the custom of not eating.
