Question
I guess my concern for myself is binging. That is I found myself eating, not hungry but rather gratifying or something to do while watching t.v.,
and have gained weight. Any ideas or suggestions?
I do the same thing!!! Common sense suggestions would be to stay away from the fridge and the kitchen while you are lounging and watching t.v. and if you have the urge to snack at least make it something healthy like celery, carrot sticks, grapes, apple slices, etc. Or try to keep yourself occupied with something else while you are watching t.v. I guess what it comes down to is control and discipline and the willpower to say no!!!
