My cousin is the opposite. She stays away from the TV when she's eating. Last time we stayed at my other cousin's house, which they keep their TV in the kitchen, this girl went to the living room to eat.

Yep I have been told that too Lenny. I lost 30kilos last year (which is quite embarrassing) TOO MANY CHILDREN!!! LOL...Anyway they say you dont pick up the symptom of being full if you are watching something and not focusing on how much you are eating. It just becomes a trigger for you to eat more. For example the tv is on so I better get something to eat because that is what you are used to doing.

That doesn't happen to me :D I get full immediately after starting to eat, so I don't think that watching tv becomes a trigger to eat more. My stomach would complain

I don't know. Maybe so since she's too skinny. She said she only eats when she's hungry, and it doesn't seem like to me she's hungry quite often.
Reading a book as well - when I'm just eating stupidly staring at something I feel like I'm wasting my time. Better save time killing two birds with one stone

I read sometimes while I'm having breakfast (if I'm not in a hurry) :D Although I prefer to watch the news.
I eat in the kitchen, on the counter because right now we don't have a tv so I guess I don't have anything extra with my meals. But sometimes I have my smaller meals in front of the computer.
