Eating While Working?

Do you often eat while doing other activities? If so, you're fostering a habit that is highly associated with weight gain over time. Check out the example of activities listed below that many of us do in combination with eating - mark the ones that apply to you to create awareness.

- Reading
- Watching TV
- Using your computer (leisure/work)
- Driving
- Watching a sports event
- Preparing meals

Take Action!

Separate eating from other activities! Try 'mindful eating' for at least a week which means being fully present while eating; paying attention to hunger, fullness, and everything in between like texture, taste, and aromas. Write down what you learned from the experience and then consider adopting mindful eating as a life-long habit.

Live Well!
