Yeah, I think that is a wide-spread problem. It used to be my M.O. too - primarily in the early 00s amid my crushing depression, but I still feel the impulse now, ingrained from watching my mom doing the same thing. In that case, I usually call Tom to say "I was thinking of eating this but it's not good for me" or "I ate this thing that was not good for me and I'm OK/not OK with it."

It's such a big issue to me that it's featured at my screenplay's turning point.
