odd wwyd question

KoriBrett

If I am done eating (I'm dieting and eating smaller portions) and everyone else is still chowing, I stay at the table but now if I'm done, Sam says she's done, too.  Even though I know she's still hungry.  I have to talk to her about it & tell her it's ok, then she'll finish & even have another helping.

The other night we had applesauce w/dinner and I didn't have any, she asked why.  I wanted to save some for their lunches the next day so didn't eat any - she pushed her bowl away & said she was done so we could save that, too.  I'm rubbing off on her and not in a good way.

I figure I can just STFU and eat really, REALLY slowly, but.. errr, crap.  Any suggestions?

Perhaps not only eating slowly, but put at least a dab of everything everyone else is eating on your plate.  That way she can see you have the same food, too.
