Hi Kathleen, mosaic and PamN
Thank you so much for your replies. I really appreciate all your suggestions and observations. It’s great to hear how others work with these situations. I’ve noted down ideas in my journal
Fiona

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!
