bored eating
i have several ideas in my head to jot down…
this one - bored eating. i still have a problem of eating when i’m bored. this bad habit popped up again recently. i was in between projects at work. and for some reason, late afternoon, i’d want to eat. out of boredom. :(   i tried to be good about what i ate - usually a 100 calorie 94% ff popcorn bag. i’ve even tried chewing gum and eating small candy canes (the peppermint is supposed to help curb hunger). so not too bad. but…i knew what i was doing and where it came from — and i ate anyways. i realized yesterday as i went non-stop yesterday afternoon - i had meetings and was catching up various people at the client’s office - that i wasn’t hungry. and i didn’t feel the need to eat b/c i wasn’t bored.
i guess i just need to not be bored…

Boredom is a tricky one…I find that when I get bored I start poking around for a snack too! Being aware of it is half the battle, the second half is trying to find something else to occupy your time with other than eating:)
Haha i just blogged about this and i find myself doing it more then i need to. Sometimes gum, candy does not do the trick i want more more more.
