Have you ever sat down with your kids or your girlfriends to watch an exciting new movie and before it’s over, you realize you just ate an entire tub of popcorn, a bowl of ice cream, and a slurpy? This is called mindless eating…. SkinnyMs. has 5 strategies to help you STOP mindless eating and here they are:

First of all, don’t eat while watching TV. When watching the six o’clock news or your favorite chick flick, it’s easy to consume more food than usual than if you were at the kitchen table. Make a rule that you won’t be entertained by watching movies or your favorite TV series while eating. Go to the kitchen, sit down, and eat. Odds are, you will eat less if you’re in a hurry to catch that new premiere episode.
