Without naming any names from the Fatblasters list, another computer addict is lamenting how his wife can eat a meal slowly and he (like me) cannot. Here's how I've been using my computer addiction to defeat my food addiction. Yes, the computer can actually *HELP* you eat less! Your significant other might not like the idea, but I'd strongly suggest taking the dinner/lunch plate into your computer room, setting it beside you, taking a bite or two, then working for a while (which you *WILL* do for several minutes before realizing you've got a plate of food sitting next to you). Take one bite of food every time, and when you've cleared half the plate, you'll probably be full – and the food will be room temperature. It's a good trick that's worked well for me. No need for portion control, necessarily.
