I know *exactly* what you mean, Fiona. Chinese food with white rice puts me into overdrive too -- I cannot.stop.eating.it, and honestly, I forget anyone else is even there; so I really can't relax and enjoy the company.

So I do try and substitute brown rice for it whenever I can, even if I need to bring my own. It makes a huge difference -- I might still overeat a bit, but it's not that horrible vacuuming thing, and I can stay present with my company.

Hope you find a solution that works for you!
