If your watching tv with snacks infront of you, does anyone else just keep grazing even if you're full?

I think it must be a survival reflex.

    I do that when I'm driving if I'm dumb enough to buy a bag of donut holes or chocolates. I eat til I get home and it's a 20 minute drive....That said, I'm not that dumb anymore.

    Forced myself to stop eating out of the cheez it box for that reason. Now I try to only carry drinks into the living room.

    I am just so glad to hear I am not the only one who does these things!

    I only have this problem if my boyfriend brings a bag of chips, or cookies, into the living room. I try not to even buy the stuff.

    Don’t eat out of the container and weigh your portions.

    yep, get your portion, ignore the rest.

    I'm to the point if I haven't weighed out a snack, I don't eat it. So, if BF brings a bag of whatever to the couch to snack on while movie watching - I don't eat any. If I want food, I'll get up and get my own. Saves me a ton of calories...

    I don't ever have snacks just sitting out while I'm watching t.v...and on average I'd say I watch about 30 minutes of t.v. per day and that's about it...

    It is so weird...even at my heaviest I would lose control with certain foods but it was totally unrelated to my tv watching...I hear so much about how bad it is to watch tv...I still watch a ton of tv...and I have lost 43 pds this year so far...I guess it goes to show how different everyone's journey is...

    Ate so much candy tonight... but on the upside, I have a headache and feel uncomfortably full so I'm not tempted to do that again!

    Heh, that's how I feel every time I overeat candy. Funnily, I forgot how crap it felt by the time I get the urge to do it again...

    I live in a studio cabin in the rural mountains of Montana, so the bed is also my sofa and dining table. I crank the heat up to keep out the cold, then I eat spoon after spoon of sherbet while watching tv. It's not a good habit, but I admit to doing it.

    Thats exactly why I dont eat out of the box haha! I used to do the same thing. Now I log everything before I eat so I can decide if its worth it.

    I feel this on a personal level, I have a bad habit of snacking when I'm bored, or if I know I have snacks I want to eat them all even if I'm not hungry. I also always feel the need to snack when I'm studying...

    I live in the mountains of Montana as well (not as rural as you). I can't eat ice cream or sherbet when it's cold out, even with the heat cranked up. My snack at night is mixed nuts and chocolate. Weighed of course. ;)
