Slowing down can help you slim down. A study by the Journal of the American Dietic Association has shown that people who eat quickly have a 12% higher BMI (Body Mass Index) than those who eat slowly.
Try fully chewing each bite (a good idea in general), eating with your non dominant hand, or putting your fork down between bites to help you slow your pace. The brain takes 15 - 20 minutes to register that you are full, slowing down your meal gives it a chance to do so sooner.
Chill, and enjoy your meal. And remember, it can help you lower your BMI. That's soooo much easier than a five mile run!
