Call of Duty- Black Ops Diet

myiceisonfire

So I'm the girl that always had to have something going into my mouth or have my hands busy! I'd watch movies & munch away.

Around the time that I started using MFP I bought my hubby a PS3 video gamed called "Call of Duty - Black Ops"...Now I play, & I'm constantly using my hands for the controller (both hands!) so I don't feel the need to keep grabbing for food and munching away.

Honestly I think that's part of the reason I've lost weight, less eating because I started playing video games.

Anyone else have this experience? =P

Nice job.....but be careful....video game addiction is serious too...can keep you from being active....my ex used to play like 8-10 hours a day....he started doing nothing else, so I booted his *kitten*! lol.....Find a good balance!

Actually, yes. I've found that when I haven't played some sort of video game in a while, I've gained weight. My game used to be Oblivion (and I've already got Skyrim reserved!). Then I was so busy studying I didn't have time to play anymore. Packed on some pounds. Now I play Dungeons and Dragons Online. I find I don't eat near as much.

That leaves 6-8 hours for other things. I fail to see the problem.

Don't worry, I have a 1yr old that keeps me up on my feet. Go for a walk almost every day & 30 Day Shred.

LOL OMG I meant FOOD!

My first thought reading about a video game diet was nothing but Doritos and Bawls! LOL

I stopped snacking once I started reading MFP all night long!

sweet! My kids go crazy with that game, I don't like first person. I personally like Socom but haven't been on lately... I need to! :bigsmile:

keep gaming and keep your hands busy but don't forget to get up and run or something... I know personally that you can get caught up and lose track of time! oh the memories!!! :laugh:

I played World of Warcraft for over 5 years....and honestly snacked on the worst foods the whole time. Not to mention all the pizza I ate, oi. I'm glad it's working for you though!

Yep, I lost weight the first 2 weeks we had our Wii. I am not good at the reg games like Mario and all that but I can beat everyone's pants off at boxing and sword fighting, lol!!!

I do the same thing, hate to get food on the xbox controller so I never eat when playing xbox. Bit of a nice distraction to keep from munching in front of the Telly

Genius! :laugh:

Massively Multiplayer Online [game].

If you want to get really technical, WoW (and similar games) are MMO RPGs (Role Playing Game) but people leave off the RPG part cuz it's faster to type. :P
