Do you eat until you're full?

It's not really always the most comforting thing or healthy to eat until your stomach is just too full to hold anymore food. Yet, most of us, if possible, do this anyway. I know when I lived with my dad, and we weren't doing so well financially I would eat until I was full because usually dinner would be our only meal if I did not have school. I developed a slow metabolism though, so even if I didn't a very large meal, my stomach would be able to retain the nutrients. Also, recently I became ill with a high fever that would not go down without antibiotics, and those caused loss of appetite. During this week, I could not eat solid food without vomiting it back up. I was not hungry, and just drank a lot of fluids. After I got over my sickness, I was so grateful to be able to eat food regularly again, that I feel like i overdid it. I really didn't, but I suppose I just felt like a "fatty" because I hadn't had much to eat in that past week.
