The body regulates itself

When I began slowly eating a bit more, I was worried that I’d feel stuffed forever. I know for some, there is this fear—this belief—that the only way you can for sure not put on weight is by being a little hungry, all of the time. So being full makes you frightened, thinking you’ll never be hungry again. But your body will help you. If you eat a little too much at one meal, it may be longer until you’re hungry again. That’s okay. Just wait. Trust your body. It will lead you in the direction of a beautiful figure if you just listen.
