TV Addicts

[Widdlecuddles]

Hello my name is Nicky and I am a TV addict.

I sit for hours in front of that stupid box watching show after show. When one of my choice shows aren't on... I just flip through channels until I find something that might be interesting.
Too much TV... too much sitting on my butt...
I made a deal with myself last night. My goal this week is I will spend only 1 hour a night just mindlessly sitting and staring at the tv. Any other time I spend in front of the tv I have to be exercising.

What do you all do while watching tv...

Hi Nicky.

You know they say the first step to recovery is admitting your problem. LOL

I guess I'm a former TV junkie, lately I haven't sit down and watch a TV show in I don't know how long. I finally broke myself. Now when I'm at home I'm usually up cleaning something or doing laundry, cooking dinner, something to keep me busy. I have a few of my favorite shows that I watch and even lately I've missed them.

I think it's a great idea to exercise while you're watching TV, at least you would be doing something that's good for you!

I usually only spend 1-2 hours a day in front of the tube. Usually I find there's nothing really on that I'd like to watch anyways...so I spend my time in front of the puter instead...lol

If y'all could just save me from that trash on CBS -- Big Brother--- it would help a lot. I watch that dumb thing practically every summer, and scold myself for watching such crap. I just don't think I have the strength to 'just say no'!!!
It's one of those shows that I'm embarassed to admit that I watch.
HELP!!!

Big Brother!!! Oh no that starts soon doesn't it. Of course it All Stars so of Course I will be watching it!
There is nothing on tv really worth watching yet I find myself in front of the tube all night...
I am a reality show junkie and the worst thing the cable company ever did was give me the reality show channel.
Ok so this weekend I started watching some show called Solitary... these different people in there own separate rooms with no contact with anyone and they get hardly no sleep and a little tasteless food and they have to "compete" with the others on difficult challenges (like one challenge they were laying on a bed of nails) and the challenge isn't over til someone gives up... and then that person is out... REDICULOUS? YEP!!! But I watched it.
I of course will watch Big Brother... but I am not going to watch it if I'm not on my exercise bike when I do.

Nicky, you're not helping me at all!!! I'm with you though-- only watch it, if I'm exercising. The stupid show is on like 3 times a week, so that should be a big help. Save my strengthing and stretching till then!
GAHHH!!! - why do I like such trash?????

I'm a Big Brother fanatic also...I'm going to try not to get hooked on it this time but I'm sure I will though.

Count me in too...I am only allowing myself to watch "Hell's Kitchen" for right now. I hate that they are already putting the fall trailers on for new shows. They look good. But I am going to have to pick and choose. Cant lose weight sitting in front of the boob tube. Unless I am biking. I got into a little of BB this past season and I didnt get it at all.

I just wanna get back to BL again. At least that can be considered educational.

Big Brother starts tonight and hubby already has said he is NOT getting involved in watching it this year (that's what he said the last 2 years too)... so I will be on the bike for an hour tonight.

When I watch TV I relax - I do not watch much TV. I don't think I even watch an hour a day...I am more in front of the computer than anything. We listen to music in the evening - this keeps us moving around the house.
