I noticed about 20 minutes ago, as soon as the TV turns on, My mind goes right to the kitchen, I love to eat and watch TV. Actually I think its my favorite thing to do! Sad
Does anybody know how to break this habit besides the obvious stop watching TV??
Im learning things about myself I really had not noticed before!

I believe this is an American habit.I also think all the food commercials don’t help. One thing that has helped me a little (I’m still new @ this) is to keep a glass of fluids(water,tea,etc.) next to you. This way you fill with fluids quicker and this leaves less room for the good oops! Sorry, I mean the bad stuff that we really want to eat.

I do the same thing. I stay on here as much as I can and read lots of blogs Keep your fingers busy typing comments.
How about brushing your teeth or swishing with mouthwash…makes eating less desirable for a while.
Good luck!

I knit while I watch TV…you can not knit and eat. You’ll get the yarn dirty.

And yes, guys do knit. There are about 8 men who go to a class in the yarn shop I go to. (yes, they appear to be ‘manly’ men) Ages range from 23 to 72 and I also have a 51 year old son who knits. He learned when he was about 8 years old. Did you know that knitting used to be only for men? Old sailors knit when they were out to sea. The original Irish Fishermen Knits were done by men.
