For me, I had to get into the habit of eating at the table for every meal, I don't do it for snacks though. I think it's true that to prepare, sit and eat the meal in a thoughtful way is good on lots of levels. I enjoy my food more, I enjoy eating more, I feel less agitated and more satisfied. I think it did take me some time to get used to sitting at the table. Now, I hate to have the tv on when I'm eating a meal.
I think being more agitated, aggravated and less thoughtful of what I was eating made me eat more and left me feeling less satisfied, food wise and in general (spiritually).
You might try creating a nice environment around the table. Have candles -- I bought these colored glass candle holders from target. Have nice place mats. Buy special plates and glasses, they don't have to be expensive, just something you like. Once in a while splurge on flowers. You deserve it!
