Many people are addicted to the internet or computer games. Some don't even sleep and eat a good meal. They cannot leave their pc's even just for several minutes to spend eating or prepare their meals if they live alone. They feel as if they will miss something very important (or maybe the pc will runaway hehe!) when they are away for just a moment. So have u ever been so into the internet or computer that you skip your meals?

hi lucky, funny discussion..i am missing on... I do..I do..becomes addicted to computer lately... thus, I realize later it is bad for health to stay late up at night getting not enough sleep and missing meals.. or I eating my meal but not at the exact times as most is delay... now, I see first that I eat before logging in to my computer not totally skipping meals.. though if you over do will likely to end up with deep seated eyes/eyebags, it could make you thin and decreases your immune system if you have not eaten enough.. so my friend, be sure you eat your meals, then with lots of vitamins, before doing online activites. tc..

For me my friend. I don't forget to eat because of my computer. If I feel hungry I will go to the kitchen to find something to eat. If I feel sleepy, I shutdown my computer then go to bed. That's how I use my computer. How about you my friend? Have a nice day!

hello again^^;; unfortunately, lately, i can say i'm getting addicted to the internet. I'm just staying at home nowadays working online and after my regular online job, i would surf the internet till early morning around 5am doing mylotting LoL and trying to read and understand other online jobs. And since I'm just living alone, i'm lazy to prepare my food or lose my appetite often.. I also don't go out because i don't want to get away from my laptop..sound ridiculous but yes..LOL! happy lotting^^;;

Sound very rare, my friend. But it is really, there are people like you in this world. I know people like you. But they are addicted to computer online games. The only way to escape in front of computer was to go to comfort room. Your from Baguio, my friend. My brother is there. What exact location are in that place my friend...?

just saw your comment! eh? is there a way i can set mylot to notify me if there's a comment like this? i only get notified when i receive a response or a comment on my response, but not on a comment on my comment on a response....??LoL back to the topic, haha. yeah there are a lot of people like us also here in mylot. i'm not the one who actually engaged on gaming or something, but i'm just so focused reading something that i find on the internet which leads me to another site to another and so on. that makes me forget the time to eat and the reason i'm awake till dawn is that i'm a night-person. i'm active in the afternoon till 3am then sleep. you said your brother is here? oh! i stay in quezon hill (the way to naguilian road, if you know that)^^;;

Yes I do. Sometimes I just have one meal one day because I’m too busy with my computer. According to some medical opinions I’m addicted to computer or internet. Now I can say I can not live without computer, but I can live without meal. I know it’s not good for me, so recently I try going out to library for surfing internet. To get there I need walk at least 20 minutes. So it gives me the reason to go out.
@sblossom (2168)

i can use computer at home any time, but to force me out i choose to go library every day.

i would like to do same thing...at least breathe some fresh air everyday while walking but my place is near the center so streets are always crowded with people and car smoke and our library doesn't offer internet connection..sigh!

so you mean you have to go to the library to use the internet? well atleast you have way to stretch your legs for 40minutes a day..hmmm..sounds a good idea^^;;

As for now, it's already 1:00 pm sunday, I haven't eaten yet my lunch because I'm busy responding in mylot. Yes, I skip lunch sometimes because of computer but I don't do it often since I had already experienced suffering from stomach ailment before, i don't want that to happen again....

hi levite^^;; sorry for coming here late.. so have you already eaten something? well, yes, you have to eat even small amount of food for your stomach to digest something and wouldn't cause the acids to come out which destroys you stomach wall. everybody sometimes don't give importance to meal but we should be careful as not to suffer in the long run... i know how mylot is addicting haha, but don't compromise your health. now, i make sure to have something like fruits or bread...any that is easy to prepare

Thanks for that advice. I haven't commented to your discussion because I turned off my PC and ate my lunch after I responded. Now I commented I make sure my stomach is already full. You're right, stomach acidity can make us suffer from various stomach ailment.

I prepare proper a proper meal at lunchtime (and if anyone is coming to eat too) and then something lighter in the evenings. The only bad (is it really though?) habit that I have is eating while I'm at the computer. If I sit at the table I would watch the television while eating so I really see no difference between the two. I guess the only real difference is that I can't talk with my mouth full but I can manage to type with no problem at all

i cannot prepare my food really well because i usually get up at lunch and turn on my laptop. then when i felt hungry and realized i haven't eaten anything, it's already time for dinner.sigh!^^;

A lot of times, actually. I find that being in the lot and on other sites can keep me from getting hungry, LOL... but once I feel very lethargic and non-energized, I know that it's time to grab a bite. Good discussion here..

I will admit that I am addicted to computer time .I spend many hour on mylot ,tagged and chatting on yahoo messenger.I dont do video games but I understand about being so involved in my computer that I dont want to eat or I eat quickly to o back to what I was doing or even eating at my computer

hi ronnyb^^;; when one is really attached to the internet, every second is really precious that we even compromise our stomach well, this doesn't much happen to me these days since i really try to eat no matter what..but like you said, i eat fast too which is also unhealthy. so i bring the food sometimes near the pc and eat slowly. maybe try to do the same thing but be careful not to mess in your computer table

Wow...so many people are on the same boat. I thought I'm an alien hehe. Yeah, this very true...I feel like my computer will run away and never come back if i am not in front of it.. I feel like every single moment is very important and missing just a minute means losing one important thing. The saying "TIME IS GOLD" applies here. As you said, many people are addicted to the internet. We are losing a little of social interaction because we have lots of virtual conversation nowadays hehe.

as u said, we are living in a virtual world, even friends are virtual, which sometimes sadden me when i thought of it. but yes, it connects people everywhere around the globe. Well, i agree, Time is gold, but Health is diamond...agree? hehe! Don't get yourself sick skipping meals...have a nice day^^;;

Health is truly a diamond, an element more important than gold. I cannot agree more on that. Just so you know, I may sometimes late in eating my meal but never can i forget it..It's on of my favorite thing to do lol. It sadden me as well because people are getting more virtual and the social interaction is becoming less and less. I hope people won't forget and will take some time to make contact with people up close and personal.

Hello Lucky09 I consider myself addicted to the net, I have been known to put off cooking for a hour longer than usual this was in the beginning when I use to play games with other people so leaving was some what out of the question but now never, I do what has to be done while running back and forth to the computer lol but it is never so bad I will not eat or feed my family in my case.

oh that's very good! you stomach has a stronger will than your mind i wonder why i can't do that. i love eating and want food always but should already be prepared...i must try to change this little by little

hhmm..that's really like me hahaha! I actually already have a different body clock since i have my lunch at 5pm, have snack at 8pm, have my dinner at 12 am and sleep at 4am i want to change but i cannot really sleep before 4am...and even if i go to bed early, i will just be turning from side to side...sigh! i try to eat healthy food though and avoid junkfood and make sure my snack's fruits. healthy living and happy lotting too
@UK_Shree (3603)

No luckily I am not that addicted or obsessed with my PC. When I am hungry then I need to go get me some food, and it usually doesn't matter what I am doing, when I need to eat, then I need to eat! I don't think it is a very healthy way to be if you can't leave your computer for even a few minutes.
@Lucky09 (1763)
• Philippines
25 Sep 09
hi UK-Shree^^;; you are right saying it is unhealthy to exchange eating time to computer time. so when i'm really busy with what i'm doing, i'll take some food on my seat but sometimes the problem is when there's no meal ready so i would just take a snack and have some fruits. I'm trying to get rid of this habit but it's just more on the preparation of food i guess thanks for sharing and have a nice day

I've never been too lazy to eat because of a computer. However, I do know that people with addictive personalities can become quite fixated on computers or video games and then lose track of everything else. My son actually does this a lot. He forgets to eat and pretty much do everything else while he's on the computer and video games.

ohh..i don't know how old your son is but i think you must set his time for meals. I was also like that before but i cannot ignore my mother shouting for meal ..but now that i live alone, there's no one telling me it's time to eat and at the same time no one's preparing the food except me

yes i am while doing or working on computer when i am asked for dinner or lunch ever in my home, i always say that i am comming and some time hours go . so it is not good some time to avoid food due to being on computer. but if you see the brighter side you will find that how loyal i am to my computer.lol
@Lucky09 (1763)
• Philippines
17 Sep 09
don't you feel hungry? i am loyal to my laptop too but with food as well.. the problem is no one prepares nor cooks the food for me so i end up skipping the meals. i guess the cooking is the main problem here for me lol! so what i do is buy a lot of fruits whenever i go out and stuff it in my fridge so i still have something to grab when my stomach complains.. happy lotiing^^;;
