Feeling of satiety

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Could you please explain how you really tell if it is head hunger of

physical hunger you are feeling. I have such a hard time with this much of

the time.

I often eat my meal, get quite full after not eating much, then 30-60

minutes later am hungry again. Have no idea how to tell if it's head or

physical hunger. I know about drinking some water to tell but it sounds like

you may have learned other ways to tell. Would love if you could share them.

Thanks,

We have already won when we believe it in our hearts.
