Sorry, I left out a major point:
-The size of your stomach (not your visible belly) determines when this signal is sent to the brain. A larger stomach will send this signal more frequently - not because you need more food, but because it can hold more so it expects to be holding more.
--You can increase and decrease your actual stomach by decisive eating. I habitually eat portions the size of my fist with my hand over it. Restaurants all serve huge plates that would be the size of both my feet. If you eat a large portion, you will stretch your stomach, and thus increase your capacity to eat larger portions at each sitting.
--If you already have a large stomach from your current eating habits, then eat less at each meal. You will go through the hunger experience mentioned above, but you will not actually be hungry. Your stomach is only telling your brain that it's not as full as it usually is. This is where you need self control and the understanding that you will live - just wait until the next scheduled meal time.
