I found this on my mindless web surfing today.
I love the part about the *sighing theory*.
So true!
COMFORT ZONE: When to eat?
Deciding where you are on the comfort zone can be tricky. To determine whether or not I should eat, I ask myself a series of questions.
1. Do I feel like eating? (if yes, go to next question, if not, stop here and don't eat)
2. Do I feel like getting off my butt to fix myself something to eat? (if yes, go to next question, if not, stop here and don't eat)
3. If I didn't eat, would I feel really bad or uncomfortable very soon? (if yes, go to next question, if not, stop here and don't eat)
4. Would I be satisfied with a small snack, such as a piece of fruit, or do I need something more substantial?
Depeding upon your answer to no. 4, prepare yourself a snack or a small meal, or a regular-sized meal.

COMFORT ZONE: When to stop eating?
Eat until satisfied, not full! That is the tricky part about core. A general rule of thumb is to forget about the idea of cleaning your plate. That no longer exists. Just because you portioned out something doesn't mean that it is the "right amount" for your comfort zone. Stop eating between every few bites and evaluate whether or not you are "satisfied." Sure, you "could" eat more, but then you wouldn't be following core plan.
There is a "sighing" theory to satisfaction - people tend to sigh at the point when they are satisfied. If you catch yourself doing it, put your fork down.
