Me too, ladies, me too!! It's usually just a free-for-all when I visit home. I find that it's for 2 reasons:
1. My parents literally have TONS of food in that house. 3 fridges, 2 fully stocked pantries. They are Costco shoppers to the nth degree, so there is always a huge excess of yummy food, a lot of which is junk.
2. Whenever I go home, it feels like some sort of vacation for me (which it is, essentially), and what do you usually do on vacation besides eat? I think that it can be a real mind trick. Mom's house=vacation time=relaxed eating for me.
Add to that, my mom really loves to have people over and loves to feed them, and when I'm home she really wants to make sure that my relatives and family friends see me, so there's lots of company over, as in, BIG DINNERS. I'm supposed to go back in August, so I'm really looking forward to testing my strength this time!
