Research suggests that people who watch TV during meals consume more calories than those who don’t. Tonight at dinner, turn your TV off and make an effort to talk to your family. Or, simply savor your delicious meal by focusing on every bite.

This will be my biggest challenge. I’m willing to make myself do this!

This is my biggest weakness. I love to munch while watching my shows. Well, tonight “Lost” will just have to wait until after dinner. Thank goodness for Tivo!
