I can’t BELEIVE this!!! Shocking!

According to a new study by the Annals of Behavioral Medicine… People who lost weight, and KEPT it off (the tricky part) for at least 5 years- had fewer TV sets in their homes than overweight people. The study found that people with fewer TVs also had more exercise equipment in these same homes!

Additionally, the study found that people with the fewer TVs, ate less junk food.

Well, all I can say about this is that I used to watch a whole lot more TV than I do now. Of course, this is coming from someone that just got a new 46” flat-screen for Christmas… but, frankly, I haven’t watched it that much. Beth, my wife, gets on to me about watching too much football and baseball is coming right up… but I have gotten to where I just don’t sit down and watch like I used to. I kinda feel like I don’t have time.

Side-note to all of this: It has come to my attention that if I am eating, and my eyes are focused on something across from me… like my wife or a child, instead of a TV… then I am not going to lose focus and end up eating too much. I don’t know what that is all about, but when I get into Law and Order… I just keep stuffing my hand into that bag of chips or whatever I have in front of me. Just not a good thing. Besides… I like to talk to my 4 year old!!! It’s better than seeing who is going to get voted off of the island!!!
