that's weird because you think friends would be a good thing. I do know that certain things influence you to consume more... including, being outside, watching tv, being happy or depressed, and now apparently having friends. I guess it would depend on the friend too though, when I first met my husband I would eat less when I was with him, and now I eat more when I am with him.
