Eating out of boredom

[lov2seay 0]

Can anyone tell me how do you cope with eating out of bordom? I am fine throughout the day and when I get home the first thing I look for is a snack. Tired of eating sugarfree fruitcups, pudding and yogurt. Any suggestions? :embaressed_smile:

I too have my moments where I am bored or just want something to eat. I try to get up and do something - clean off the counter, take a walk, read a book - anything to temporarily get my mind off of wanting to eat something.

I try so hard, but the beast is back! I get so hungry and I had one fill which was only 1cc. I am going back for another fill and also, exercising. Thank you for your advice!

Hey ATL!

O.k. I am very curious, what is a WII??:tt1:

Its an interactive video game. I want a Wii and a wii fit. That would be way more productive than playing my son's psp!

Nintendo gaming system that involves actual movement. They even have a game called Wii fit that I hear is very good though I haven't been able to buy it yet.

Ladies,

I am with you on this one. My husband works overnight and I am at the house with the kids. I was doing great in the beginning either going upstairs to work out or working from home while they ate dinner, but the fat girl in my has reared her ugly head:cursing:! I find myself eating the Snacks for their lunches. I've stopped working out too. It's like I can't stop myself. I have finally gotten back in the right mindset, but the idle time at home is driving my crazy.

Eat a handful of raisins, Jello, pudding, yogurt, or those 100 calorie Snacks. Some of them have high carbs, but it will curb that itch to have something crunchy.

Try eating string cheese as a snack, high Protein low calories. Do something physical, read, music, etc. something!! You have to fight that because it's all in your head. Also make sure you're getting enough protein at your meals and during the day. Also try drinking massive amounts of water...that helps me. They even have 70 calorie Snacks now lol so I do those, but limit myself to 1 or 2 per day between meals. Snacks aren't a part of the plan, so do your best to work around it. Your body will thank you!
