Mindless eating at the Computer

I was reading Boner's post which share the rule:

"Never eat anything while watching the BOOB TUBE  or while on the COMPUTER!"

I have been worried that my tool isn't working since I never have any pain or sickness when or after eating.  Last night I was playing a friendly poker game on-line.  IT was about 8:30pm and I felt the need for a snack (since I had been reading all those snack posts earlier).  So, I grabbed my bag of roasted soy nuts and just mindlessly began eating them while continuing to lose at poker.  Before I knew it, I felt like I was going to suffocate.  That was weird.  I felt painfully full and like I couldn't breath for a little while.  That was a new experience.  I didn't like it.  I"m not even suere how much I ate, I'm guessing a 1/4 cup at least.  Another rule is to measure out the food before eating it and leave the big bag somewhere else.

The only time I've come anywhere close to dumping was  about 2 wks post-op and I mindlessly  drank about a pint of  tomatoe soup and ate a half a sleeve of Ritz crackers while watching the OU-Mizzou Big 12 championship game.  So I been where you're describing. I might share a bag of popcorn w my wife while watching TV now days, but that's about it.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

I use small bowls or plates and little cups of stuff. Instead of food I'll have a 32oz glass of water. Drink 2-3 of those and you'll be too busy peeing to eat.

It's going well. Speaking of Colorado (heh) I rode through the San Juan and La Salle mountains the last couple weeks of July: www.sanjuanhuts.com/mountain_bike_adventures/telluride_to_mo ab/ Moab was HOT. I've got some pictures on my myspace at www.myspace.com/urtooclose Commuting is a lot of fun too, especially saving 1.5 - 2 gallons of gas a day.
