I never realized how much I eat when I am bored. I only get bored in the evening. I need to find something to occupy my time. I am trying to workout in the evening, but sometimes it is just so much easier to do in the mornings.

 

I work from home, so I am always here and always 5 steps from the fridge. HOWEVER, I am fine during the day. But man oh man, when the evening gets here, I find myself standing in the kitchen just looking for things to eat and of course they are never good. Thankfully they are at least low-cal. I have pretty much changed everything out, but 3 bags of 100 calorie snacks is still 300 calories you know what I mean?

Just wanted to let you I have the same problem. Lately I have found that if I eat an orange (slowly) My boredom hunger goes away. The only thing I can think as to why is the acid in the orange stays around. after a few moments I no longer have the boredom hunger.

Good luck

omg i do the same thing. i get home at about 4:00pm and sometime around 5:00/6:00 i want to eat everyting in the house! i have started trying new recieps. ones that i would have never cooked in the past becuase they take so freakin long. i get occupied and i learn something new! then by the time its done im starved and ready for a shower. i never feel like eating after a shower so then i can just relax, digest and watch tv till time for bed!
