I tend to be a nibbler all day and night long to begin with...I often eat or nibble at my lunch while in front of the computer--dinner is different. I give myself a time out, stop working on the computer to eat dinner and usually around the same time...usually around 7p.m....it's my one "break" that I give myself since I practically live in front of this puter of mine--oh and while I'm sleeping I believe that's when Pyewacket and Kissy sneak on the computer and surf pet food places...hehee

And SMART!

We never eat at given time around here. I have been known to go all day on breakfast when my husband is working. I just get busy and forget to eat. And, I suppose, if one isn't hungry there is no reason to eat.Apparently the body doesn't need the extra food. I know my body doesn't need the extra fat! My husband works all hours in the afternoon, so we never know when we will eat dinner.

If I can I really prefer to eat when I'm hungry. I know everyone says it's better to stick to a schedule, but although I can see the logic in it, I really prefer to follow my own body instead of a clock. Sometimes, they're actually close, sometimes not.
I don't mean by this waiting until I'm starving to eat and then eat like a pig. Just go with my body tells me. If I feel I want to eat then do it, my body will tell me again when it wants something else :)
As for stopping what I'm doing to eat, it depends. If I feel I'm hungry I'd rather stop and eat.

Hi Terry, Were almost the same, sometimes I skip meal because I don't feel hungry and all of a sudden I just feel dizzy maybe because I'm hungry. And when I eat my dizzy feeling gone. My stomach don't react but my feelings though.

Good topic for me today since I didn't think to eat and when I went into the kitchen I had to take some carb drops since I am a diabetic and really need to eat by the clock. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was halfway to dinner with no lunch. I had sat here doing makeup on mylot, doing some chatting, visiting with my daughter and her kids and then watching them until her husband came for them and didn't even think about eating anything. It used to be that I would constantly think that I had to eat at a certain time. I didn't feel hungry until a short time ago and I ate the same thing for breakfast that I do almost every day.

Hi There,
I am quite similar, I never stop what I am doing to eat. Even when I get hungry I rarely stop if I am in the middle of something. It is probably not so good for the body, but I usually get so into what I am doing I cannot walk away. My mealtimes certainly do not go by the clock!
cheers,

I have such an odd schedule. I just eat when I'm hungry. what I hate most of all is when I know I'm getting hungry but I'm busy so I put it off and then suddenly I'm so very hungry that I could eat 300 big macs but I'm in a spot where i can't eat so I just have to deal with it.

I used to only eat when I was hungry but then I would eat way too much and not want to do anything but go to bed. So now I eat according to the clock. I have my protien shake in the morning before I go to work. I then have my lunch, a protein bar, around noon and I have a good supper around 5 pm. I then have a snack around 8 pm. So I have to admit I eat according to the time. I am dieting and this has worked for me.

I stop whatever I'm doing and eat if its time to, I don't know how but I've got my body trained. I only get hungry at certain times of the day. I always eat lunch between 11:30 and noon, and I eat supper between 7pm and 8pm, everyday. I notice when it gets to those times, I'll be hungry, I guess my body's just used to eating at a certain time of the day. Once in awhile I get off schedule, if I'm busy out somewhere, but the next day I'll usually get back on track...lol.

I only eat when I'm hungry. If it's noon and I have no interest in eating I wait until dinner or grab a bottle of water or lemonade. It might be the best way I control my weight. I don't feel the need to eat all the time because the clock says noon or 6pm.

I pretty much just eat when I'm hungry. There have been times I have gone a whole day without eating and not realize it till the next day if someone asks me what I had to eat yesterday. lol

I don't eat food at a specific time.
But I know people who do.
For me, it's just whenever I get a chance
to eat or make some food for myself.
Sometimes I don't even eat.
Just grab some bread and milk.

Hi girlfriend,
How are you feeling? Better I really hope.....xxxooo.
As far as your question half the time I don't stop to eat, although I should. I ususally just have something small for breakfast, but oh boy, do I eat for dinner. It's like I put all three meals into one, haha.
