The answer to weight gain – yes, I found it!

Posted on: September 10, 2008

While sitting at the computer, I came upon this discovery regarding weight gain…..

       

…. a new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research may give viewers pause about all the death they’re routinely letting into their living rooms. Apparently, must-bleed-TV may just make you eat and shop more.

The article is referring to the Law & Order series, CSI, and all the other blood, guts, and killing shows.

I’m a fanatic of Law & Order and I don’t care how many times I view the same episode – I get giddy when I find out there’s a Law & Order marathon on!

However, now, I’ll try and see if I eat while watching or even shop while watching! LOL

A few summers ago I had a severe case of poison ivy requiring multiple shots and oral steroids – since I couldn’t sleep because of the itching, I would shop online – what else is there to do at 3 a.m.?  Yep, I bought lots and the credit card can show it!

I did mention to my Dr. that I couldn’t take anymore steroid shots or pills because it made me buy on ebay, his comment was “well, that could make you do things you wouldn’t ordinarily do, but I doubt it made you shop on ebay”….trust me, this turned into a heated conversation and guess what “I won!”  He finally relented and said “well, maybe it did”  – this is the part of the conversation hubby heard! LOL

I think this has to be it. I watch that all the time :) I have to wonder though what Megan’s excuse is she watches it also and she is soooooooooooooo skinny! lol

  • Yesterday was close to being successful….. May 7, 2013
    Yesterday we tried to do the unthinkable – getting 3 things accomplished!  When we first moved to Costa Rica, we were “warned” that if we got one thing on our list accomplished, to think of that as a successful day. I had a dental appointment at 2:50 p.m. in Escazu; went smoothly except I have […]

  • Happy May Day! May 1, 2013
    Back in the old country when I was but a wee lass……May Day, May 1st, was a great holiday.  We spent the week before May 1st making May Day baskets.  Then we would fill them with candy, spring flowers, etc. – on May 1st, you would deliver your May Day baskets, hang them on the […]

    Our friends Bill and Sandy just returned from a humongous trip that included Singapore and India and Bali and Australia. Don’t know about you, but just thought of planning for such a long trip – they were gone for about 8-9 weeks!  I would have to plan now if I wanted to take my dream […]
