How To Kick Bad Habits continued

"Mindless Eating"
If you have a family that you cook for - husband and children - do you finish off the food on their plate - that they leave behind - before eating your own meals? Apparently some women do, if Chapter 1 of 10 Habits That Mess Up a Woman's Diet is to be believed.

Do you snack on a donut in the employee lounge (if you work), snag a Hershey's Kiss from a fellow's employees candy-dish every time you go by, taste-test the food you cook, eat samples offered at grocery stores, and so on. [It all adds up.]

"Women's relationship with food can be divided into categories: the foods chosen when our minds are engaged, and the foods nibbled and noshed mindlessly. ... If you can't lose weight no matter how hard you try, or you're not as healthy as you would like, this mindless eating is the first place to check."
