Being a Healthy Reader by Camy Tang
May 3, 2012 3 Comments
I will admit that I’m a very unhealthy reader. Why? Because I love eating while I read. It’s literally my favorite thing to do: curl up with a good book, a pot of tea, and some snack.
And I’m not talking healthy snacks. I’m talking chips, cookies, and chocolate.
I have tried healthy snacks–carrots, celery, cucumbers, bell pepper strips, dried apples and other dried fruit. But my favorites are still chips and cookies.
However, I am trying to be healthier–plus I, erm, gained some weight and no longer fit in my clothes, and I’m too lazy/cheap to buy new ones so I want to lose the pounds and keep my Victoria’s Secret jeans. 
So do other people eat while they read or is it just me???

Other people eat when they read too….but I make sure to follow a strict guideline though!!
I’m bad about munching at night when reading. I don’t do it as much reading on the eReader as I did reading pages. I’m not sure why…
Martha, how do you keep from overeating or do you just try to choose healthy snacking?
Vicki, now that’s interesting! I have found that I eat less with my ereader, too, but that’s because I tend to knit when I read with my ereader, just cuz I can.
It’s nice only needing to touch the screen or press a button to turn the page. I can’t knit and read with a paperbook because I’ve got to hold it and turn the pages.
