Do you do Something while eating your meals?

I either watch the tv while eating, or I read! I have always done so, use to be it was reading all the time, whatever meal I ate I would read while I ate. Then I met my hubby so I stopped doing it for a while as it was classed as ignorant, but then once we knew each other I started doing it again!! I would not say that reading while eating was a bad habit, it would be if you have company but other than that I see mealtimes as a time to relax and enjoy and if reading is part of that enjoyment, then why not!!

You arent alone..im the worlds worst..if i can find something to to whilst i eat i will!!..after years of having to sit to the table in silence...and wait there until everyine else has finished..im rebelling..and i will do what i want to do !!!!lol

I watch television and eat; however that isn't the worse problem. The way I end up eating to much is to eat while cooking. Sometimes I eat while reading a book or magazine, but this one I rarely do now, as this is what I did often in college.

I dont watch TV while eating but yes i do read while watching eating. Then even i durf while eating. As a student when i never had time to study(during exams I used to study while eating). And one thing i have observed if I read during eating, I end up eating more.

haha ^_^ I can only eat and watch tv.. Other than that, i cant do anything else while eating.. because watching tv only requires my eyes to be fixed on the tv and i can still eat.. But reading is a no for me, because i find it troublesome to keep flipping the pages of magazines or papers.. hehe

Yes,i do.When it comes to me,i have the same bad habit with you.I really know that it is a bad habit to do something else when we are eating.but i do it most of the time. When i have meals at home with my family,i seldom to reading books or magazines and watching TV while eating.because of my mother,she is so strict,she don't let me do anything else while we are eating.She says that it is not good for health.but if my mother is not at home,my younger sister and me and my father always do other things when we eating.I prefer to eating in front of TV and watching TV,i think it is a enioy of life.If there is no good programes on TV,i will choose to read some storybooks to spend me eating time.I also feel like listening music with eating.It takes me half an hour or more time to finish one meal.I love the feeling. If i have meals outside,I choose to read some books or magazine when eat.maybe i can have chat with my friends while eating. If i don't do anything only eat,i will feel so bald.So i don't want to change my habit.Why so many people so it is bad to do otherthings,because,if we do something else,we will not pay more attention to chaw,it is not very good to gulp food with not chaw compeletely.so if you chaw compeletely,it does not matter to do something else i think.but we can't do sport when eating.

I have found myself to be eating more than I need if I have eaten while watching tv. I force myself to eat at the kitchen table and rarely snack while watching tv anymore. This way portions are better controlled.

i am so like you...i have to be doing something all the time whether it is watching tv or reading while eating...sometimes if i am into something, i forget to eat even! (most times during lunch and breakfast, i am on the computer).

Usually we will turn on the TV but we don't watch it. We listen to the news instead. When we are having a meal together, we will like to talk. I love China

I do the same. I eat in front of the tv. I find that I don't eat as fast when i'm watching the tv. I take my time eating.

hi afternoontea... during my breakfast i am just listening to the tv. or sometimes no tv cause need to be quick to go to work. during my lunch i just eat at the canteen together with my officemates. during my dinner i watch tv and eat dinner with my family or sometimes just listening to tv only. ^_^ SMILE ALWAYS...

I have to be watching something that interests me while I eat and the habit has gotten bad for me. I'll either sit down at the tv or my computer to watch something and I cannot begin eating until I am entranced by what I am viewing. If the program ends or goes to commercial I have to stop eating and find something else or wait for it to resume before I can finish eating.

After class , I often go home , turn on my laptop , eating something while watching drama ^^ enjoy life

We always eat in front of the TV. At home i'm either on the sofa or sat at my desk, and at mom's we eat in front of the TV too. The only time we don't is when it's Christmas or someone's birthday.

I usually eat in front of the TV.. I've got used to it so much that if the TV isn't there when I'm eating, I feel that the meal was incomplete.. I feel hungry for more!!

when i eat my meals, it always take me half an hour to finished. i eat very slow. i like this way.coz if so fast it's too bad for my health. in the morning i bought my breakfast and took into my office(it was banned), then spent half an hour to eat and watched the news.when i ate my lunch, i ate in front of TV at canteen.my dinner too. if i don't do anything when i eat my meals, it's so incredible.i alway keep on my regular time.

If i'm alone I'll read or play on the computer, watch tv. I get bored sitting and eating alone and I'm more likely eat unhealthy foods if i dont do things while i eat alone. When i eat with others I dont do anything while i eat...its rude. The exception is when everyone sits to watch a tv show or movie while we eat.

i also watch tv or i sometimes eat in front of my computer. i know its a bad habit lol

While I am eating is the only time I really take a break so, my eating is usually accompanied by television watching.

While I'm eating dinner I usually watch TV. Otherwise nothing else really.
