Alex and I are really bad at eating dinner at the table. We used to do it every day, but our dining room table turns into a storage shelf and we're both pretty lazy... What I'm trying to say is that we eat more meals on the couch than we should.
When you eat dinner on the couch, while watching TV, it can hurt you in many ways. You don't typically talk to the person you're eating with, for one. Another way that it hurts, especially in relation to conscious eating, is that you don't pay attention to your food. This means you're mindlessly consuming so, in addition to ignoring your meal, you may also eat more than you mean to. So, eating on the couch isn't conducive to conscious eating.
It was Alex that pointed this out. And he was right.
So I made it a point to clean off the table and we've eaten our dinners there. So far. I'm not saying that I don't expect us to revert to bad habits, but hopefully it will be a conscious choice rather than just something we do because it's what we did the day before.
