Relating BG readings to how hungry I feel as been enlightening for me as well. I'm learning that it's ok to feel a little hungry but too many times i'll ignore that and get VERY hungry and over eat - and even perhaps the wrong things that I bought while in that state.

Prioritizing protein as well has a hidden benefit for me and that is, if I want to keep my general caloric intake at a reasonable level, I need to ditch some of the added fats in favor of protein - my carbs are usually not an issue especially as far as the percent of engergy I get from them compared to fat.

I'm trying to find a place where I can develop a pattern and eat two reasonable meals a day - Like you Nancy, I'm able to stop mid meal sometimes and say, "that's enough" and stop eating and put away a left over to two (at least I think you mentioned something like that in your OP but I'm too lazy to go check - some things die hard, my laziness ha! )

Greetings to you other DDF'res and NO'ers - Looking forward to bringing this practice into the holiday season.
