There’s a genuine phenomenon called “dessert stomach”. As I understand it, the stomach is somewhat flexible as to size. How full you feel is down to the pressure in there, but that’s a combination of how much you’ve eaten and how much the stomach has actually relaxed. Just because you feel “full”, that doesn’t mean it actually can’t hold more – just that your body has decided it’s had enough of whatever you were eating. Take a bite of dessert, and the sugars trigger a relaxation of the walls of the upper stomach – easing the pressure and giving you room for more.
In other words, even when you’re full, there’s usually room for dessert.
