I know what you mean about unconscious eating. It's my downfall as well. I don't know if this will help you along in your journey, but I'm reading a book by Eckhart Tolle, called A New Earth-awakening to your life's purpose. It's an Oprah book club selection. It talks about being aware of your life- your relationship with yourself, with others, and I've applied it to my relationship with food. It's helped me. It might be something that could help you.
