Try going for a walk then, or read a book. Burns calories, or at the least avoids them, right? 

That's true, I have my elliptical near by that I jump on, during commercials, they used to be about 3 minutes, but some of them are 5 minutes, great workout, I have a lot of changes to use it during an hour show with all of the commercials. Sometimes, I walk in place also. 

LOL - I know! I hit the mute button and look away! 

Yup! Cut the cable cord and switched to Android TV for that reason among others. Can't watch cooking shows anymore, either :-) 

I know it's hard but I know you can do it. When I was 50 I quit drinking,smoking and eating and still lost 50 lbs. Of course I gained it back......still don't smoke or drink. 2 out of 3 isn'T bad 

I completely agree! I watch Netflix more than tv though.  

so true, BLS. How are you, girl? 

I'm old. I live alone. I have tinnitus. I use the TV for the voices, to keep me company and so that I don't concentrate on the chirps and whistles in my head. I even sleep with Audio books on at night. :-) I can't afford the alternatives, like Netflix and during the day, PBS programming is mostly for children. @Fatbut. LOL! I had my first cigarette when I was 6 years old. I had my last cigarette when I was 6 years old. My mother knew how to make you quit cold turkey! I never drank. I have 4 or 5 drinks a year on special occasions. That leaves food. At my age it's my only sensual pleasure. LOL!!! @Heather, HI! I'm sort of fine. How are you my darling? 

@Johanne, I'm 46, I live alone, I use the TV for company and distractions, I smoked for 4 years in 1996 - 2000, I have a couple of drinks a year on social occasions. Yes, food is my only sensual pleasure. HI SISTER !! 

I totally agree about those TV adds!  

LOL! Hey Chris!!! :-) 

While we're at it let's ban all the ads! They have taken over everything, so annoying. I usually avoid buying what I see in ads for just that reason. Oh snap!
