I seldom eat sitting down

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe it's part of my ADHD but I don't sit down to eat all that much. I'll do it for actual meals but if it's a burger or a burrito I'm usually standing, walking around or my other hand will have the phone or a tool in it. I notice it's not just me, a former employer I strongly suspect is HFA used to do it as well. Sometimes he would have the phone cradled in his neck while holding a part in one hand and a piece of chicken in the other

This topic SHOCKED me and I mean absolutely positively SHOCKED me. I said "What!" out loud and I never express myself outwardly. I knew I didn't write it so someone else did and that was shocking. I can't believe there's someone else out there with AS that does this! It means it may actually be part of it.

I never eat sitting down. I don't like to.. I prefer to walk around with my food or just eat on the counter standing. I don't know why I do it but I have my entire life. I'd grab my food and take it outside and run around on the lawn as a kid and as an adult I just find it way more comfortable to be upright.

Thanks for making this - it impacted me considerably even though I am sure no one else on Earth would understand why but this is a big connection for me.

I never walk around whilst I am eating now. I have tried this on multiple occasions and I always seem to lose my balance!

I always sit when I eat meals. if im snacking ill stand in front of the fridge or in the kitchen

I wouldn't say I *never* sit to eat but I probably eat maybe 2/3 of my food standing. It just makes sense to me that I can stand right there where I have been preparing the food, eat it, wash the plate/put plate in sink and be done with the whole affair. The times I sit down to eat are mostly when I was in the middle of something on the computer and I got hungry and when I am eating with somebody else (not often).

I never eat my breakfast sitting down, due to the fact I'd be closer to the sink. I'm same way when I'm eating lunch as well.

I have to sit when eatidrinking anything, otherwise I will choke. For some odd reason, I cannot swallow food or beverages when standing or lying down.

As a child it was a challenge getting me to sit still while eating. I used to like wandering around when I had food. I grew out of it though.

I prefer to sit down when eating anything, especially when out in public.

Never had any issues with such; sitting with my parents, on the other hand......... was a challenge due to my rather icy relationship with them, then as now.

if it's a plate or bowl full of stuff, I'm better off at the table or else I'll do a grand job of spilling it down my front. If I'm just grubbing or nibbling on something, or if it's small like a cup of yogurt, I will pace the kitchen though.

I much prefer standing up to eat, I'm not supposed to do so but I will if I can get away with it.
