i have this bad habit of eating while watching movies at home. it has become an obsession, even though i don't have any junk food at home, i start to feel hungry the moment i sit for watching movies. i have put on weight. i don't know if i should stop watching Dvd's. do you have any idea how to control eating this junk? Do you also have this similar habit.
thanks for the response

Maybe you should exercise. Sure sitting down on thecouch all day eating junkfood while watching tv might seem fun, your stomach and thighs are paying the prize. Get off your bum.

Hi,
Absolutely, one of my worse habits. I enjoy watching black and white classic movies with a huge bowl of buttered popcorn. If not that, ruffles and a strawberry soda. Very bad, I know. The next day, I take myself to the mall and walk it from end-to-end.

I like to eat junk food when I watch movies at home. I am very fond of peanaut gaggry canides and I eat a lot of them , somtimes a whole packet at a time watching Television. But, most of the time I like to have potato or tapioca chips when I watch TV even though I am very fond of sweet.
I make it sure that I eat junk food only twice or thrice a day because I am very much concerned about my body shape and I am trying my level best to reduce my tummy doing exercise daily. So, I don't want to eat too much of junk food so that the effort I put on execises will go waste.

LOL I have the same habit too. I can't watch anything without having a snack on the side. I normally tend to eat pizzas or donuts with fizzy drink or a cup of tea. But I think maybe try eating low fat biscuts and low fat yogurts. That should help keep the weight down. But seriously watching telly sucks without you munching on the side

haha! that's the same with me and movies at a cinema. i NEED a popcorn and a water bottle. no matter what movie it is. on the other hand, i don't eat junk food while watching DVDs at home. i mean sometimes i do but mostly i don't. i just sort of sit on my sofa and watch. i guess it's the atmosphere that makes us crave for junk food. me with the movie theater and you with the DVDs in your cozy little home :P

I have this habit as well but more to watching movies. If you want to try and curb the habit, try not to prepare anything or get your snacks at home.
If there is an urge, try eating a bit and put the rest away..

Hello,
When I was a kid and a teen I did this more often . Now the only time I will is if I am out at someones and it is movie night or something . Usually, popcorn , or nachos and cheese that is very hooking to me LOL. Now usually if I watch a movie it will just be right after dinner , and i really dont wanna eat ya know.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, I don't feel like I NEED junk food when I am watching DVD or TV but if I buy some at home, I might take some out and eat, it helps me to stay awake and not fall asleep in the movie but not so much for the sake of eating while watching TV. I think as long as we don't go over eationg too much junk, it is okay.

Exactly the same with me I eat a lot of junk foods even while watching the television. I just want to chew something when I watch the movies or serials and it is because of this that may be I have also put on a lot of weight. I am myself badly in need of a solution to this bad habit of mine.

i also have this similar habit and i feel a great joy to eat while i watch .In some way i suggest not to quit this habbit . It makes us happy , why stop it ?
If you really care about weight just reduce the times you watch DVD. Stay more time in mylot and you won't have the time for junk eating.

No, I don't really eat which watching TV at home unless I was already hungry and just turned on the TV while snacking. I don't usually eat while out at the movies either since the food is so expensive. If I do eat something it's just because I enjoyed sneaking food in.

Hello friend,
I am not much into watching DVDs in my living room, sitting on a couch. Still, I am into watching movies/tv series on my laptop but still I do not want to get into that habit. I am already a bit overweight so I take proper care when it comes to what I eat.I do feel hungry the moment I sit down for a while but then there are other means to take care of that than eating junk,isn't it?
I hope you get out of this habit as well.. no need to give up on watching DVDs.

I do eating junk foods while i am watching dvd, especially, when my little cousin are in the house, and i enjoy eating and watching, and i also know how to control myself in eating such, if you eat it just a little bit, then you notice that a eating junk food habit are gone in your way.
