I usually still eat at the kitchen table even if it’s just me. I have been known to have a meal while watching TV if it’s not something that involves a lot of cutting.

Always in front of my computer or phone - I love to read whilst I'm eating.

DH and I only have 3 days to eat together or less, due to my schedule, so we usually eat in front of the TV while watching one of our shows. Alone, I'm usually at the kitchen island. Sometimes we like to eat in the dining room just to pretend we're fancy. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

Where do you eat if you are the only one eating? I eat at the kitchen table where I have access to my laptop and can see the TV in the family room ... I have never been much of a sofa sitter. ![:yeahthat:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/yrGoHMAelQz8f2Qt0sjb.jpg) I spill too much and if I sat on the couch I would have two cats trying to share my food. They are bad enough when I am at the table.

It depends on my mood and the day. I might eat at the kitchen or dining room table, but I also might eat at my desk or the coffee table.
My dining room gets lovely light around lunch, so I like to eat my lunch in there sometimes. But I'd say the kitchen table is where I eat the very most---whether alone or with others.

I have to have something to read while I eat but where I sit varies.

Now that I live alone I eat on the sofa in front of the tv. Eating alone at the table just makes me feel lonely and sad. But to be clear I rarely feel really lonely otherwise.

We don’t have kids. We eat on the couch watching shows together.

I sit on the couch and watch tv when I’m home alone. If my husband is home we eat at the table, as that is his preference.

On the couch with the TV on 95% of the time if eating alone. I also eat from a bowl 100% of the time if alone. Anything that needs a knife is cut in the kitchen then tossed in the bowl so only a fork goes with me to the couch. Unless it is something soupy, in which case I use a spoon.

I almost always sit on the couch to eat. It's just DH and me, but he is often working so I eat on the couch and watch TV.

It's just me a couple of nights a week. I usually eat leftovers these days. I turn on the tv and stand in he kitchen. I find I eat less if I don't sit down.

We've always had dinner as a family at the table. Now with ds gone, it is just me. Today I am eating while sitting on the couch watching TV. I can't decide if this is a bad habit I don't want to get or if it is just going to be where I eat some meals. Where do you eat if you are the only one eating? Ever since DH passed, DD and I stopped eating at the dinner table. I used to decorate for every season/holiday, etc... but everything really stopped. We do eat at the table for holidays, but that's it. Together or alone, we eat on the couch in front of the tv. It's not an issue as far as mindless eating, but it's a depressing thing (IMO) altogether. I don't like it.... but I don't want to eat alone at my dinner table. Hopefully we'll get back to eating there again.
I don't relate eating on the couch, alone, as a "bad habit" unless there is mindless eating while you're watching tv. Maybe one day we'll both treat ourselves nicer and eat at the table. As an aside, I've seen Kathy Hilton eating dinner alone on her couch on a tv tray, but it was a really nice one! Still, the idea, to me, is a bit depressing.

I usually eat solo seated at an outdoor table at Chipotle! (Whether solo or with family at home, I only eat while seated at a dining table - in the breakfast nook, formal dining room, or outdoor covered porch.)

I usually eat, sitting on the floor ( carpet ), food on my coffee table. Watching something that I’ve recorded on tv. Sometimes I sit at my scrapbook table (ha) that’s in my bedroom and eat on that. While watching tv.

I can't decide if this is a bad habit I don't want to get or if it is just going to be where I eat some meals. Where do you eat if you are the only one eating? Where ever I feel like. Table, sofa, lounging in bed, back patio. When you are single there no bad habits. good manners are about helping make other people comfortable. Parenting is teaching kids good manners so they make their spouse/friends etc comfortable. When you are by yourself use the "manners" that make YOU feel comfortable.
