This is a thread for sharing those moments when it became obvious to you that you were eating less than you did before you went on No S.
Mine was probably around 6 weeks in. We got bagels for Saturday brunch, as we sometimes do. We used to each eat two bagels with cream cheese and smoked fish. I got through my first bagel and half of the second, and it was obvious to me that there was just too much food there for me to finish. That surprised me, because I had always eaten two bagels before, and it wasn't too much food.
Lately, about 8 months since I started No S, I've noticed that I'm not always taking seconds at dinner on S days. It's not that I don't like the food- in fact, I plan dishes I really like for S days, so I can have seconds of them. But sometimes I'm just not hungry enough to get up and get seconds, after I've finished my one plate.
Nicest Husband (who isn't on No S with me, but is in on the Nine Inch Mod) had his own moment like this last weekend. I made chicken and stuffing for dinner. I cook my stuffing in a pan rather than in the bird, to reduce the chances of contamination. I made an 8x8 pan of stuffing, and it used to be we'd eat all of that. Last weekend, when we were done eating and it was time to put up the leftovers, he was surprised to see about half of the stuffing left. He's very cynical about diets, so he was surprised to see that my No S and Nine Inch Mod were actually making us eat less. He could stand to lose some weight, too, so I feel like I'm being a good wife.
Note that we're not hungry after meals. We're Jewish, and I think there's something in the Torah that letting someone still be hungry after a meal at your house is a terrible sin. I think that would bring down a plague of frogs on your house, at minimum
You know you're eating less when...

Bare minimum. Likely would involve frogs and *at least* locusts. And I don't think you would get to take your pick.
