Why am i addicted to trail mix?

Question

i just can't stop eating it once I start. Especially when I am on the PC

Answer 1

It's not really an addiction - it's a habit.  Substitute something else when you're on the computer (grapes, cherries, apple slices, baby carrots).  After a few days of eating something else, you'll be fine....

Answer 2

Because its way good, although not that good for you. It's easy to get addicted to something sweet, because it has corn syrup in it which makes you not realize your full. Also, eating while on the computer is called mindless eating(same when your in front of the TV) that's why you always eat more, because your focuses on something else so you don't actually realize your EATING. So don't eat while on the computer anymore, and measure out the amount of trailmix you want to eat at one time, that way when its gone its gone. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I doubt it.

If you are having trouble stopping, you should pour a serving into a small container and eat that. But NO MORE after it is gone. Make sure you keep your trail mix in your pantry/cupboard, and not just laying around, because when we are bored, we tend to eat. :o) If you are still having problems, have somebody hide it from you, or have them keep it somewhere where you have to ASK before eating it. Then they can stop you, if they (you should be able to trust them) feel that you have had enough trail mix for a while.

Good Luck :o)

PS: I love trail mix too!

Answer 4

It is because you are doing it mindlessly.  When you are on the PC you are more into the computer than into what you are eating.  It is like eating while you watch tv, it is there and you can do it without thinking about it, so you keep eating.
