I'm the exact same way and I end up doing the same thing as you too so you're not alone in that.

Write a note to yourself on your hand to remember to chew with your mouth closed.

I had that same problem too as a kid and then I started to chew with it closed and it was awkward for a while. She just needs to keep reminding you I all so you know you are chewing with it open again.

Maybe you can have a hand mirror next to you and eat as you look at yourself and every time your mouth opens, you can keep closing it.
