do you eat enough just to get full or just to satisfy your hunger
Enough to not feel hungry anymore.

I try to stop just before i feel full. When I stop when I feel full - I usually get more full in 10-15 min and fell overstuffed.
If I try to eat until no longer hungry - I may overeat at times or not get enough at times..
Sometimes hunger is "head hunger" I start feeling full that I still feel hungry and want to eat more... I know I need to stop right then -and I usually do stop eating, and literally push the plate away from me..

I only eat for the nutritional value. I still measure most all of my food. Like tonight we have fish, I had 1 5oz serving of fish, 1 oz of veggies. I try not to look at food as something to satisfy hunger I think of it as a way to get protein. Anymore food is very unappealing to me. So I eat out of need. Mainly I will eat 1.5 cups of food.
Now I do I get cravings. And for those I limit what I have, but I have it. Like last night I had an orange cream bar. It was so good.
My goal is to eat until no longer hungry but still have trouble with it. I agree with the other posters that aiming to feel full usually results in an overshoot..... not a fun feeling!!
