Feeling fuller quicker

When I first started this weight loss journey I went out for lunch with a good friend. We had sushi and after I had eaten it I didnt feel satisfied but I stopped myself from eating any more. Well today Beth and I had sushi for lunch, I had the same pack as I did with my friend and this time after I finished I felt full and satisfied. I'm finally getting used to smaller portions and i'm not feeling hungry all the time.

I like the fact that I can eat normal looking portions now and not these HUGE ones, or going back for seconds. I like that half of my plate is veggies or salad now and the other half is meat and a carb of some sort.
The food part is starting to get easier finally.
