eating out

Why is it everytime I am in my life changing mode I have to eat out with family when I am not hungry? It always seems to precede my weigh-in, not giving me a chance to work it off. I'm not trying to blame anyone else for my overweight. I need a little more time to regain all of the control necessary to just say no when I'm not hungry. I've been there before and will have more strength as I progress in my journey to being a healthy weight. I am trying to devalue food and make it less important in my heart and mind.
