You say that you eat for fun because you're bored. Instead, try to do something else. If there's nothing to do inside, then take a walk! Listen to some music.
And when you feel hungry, you may not be. You can be dehydrated and not know it! So I'd drink a glass of ice water, and wait about 10 minutes. If you're still hungry, have a little, nutritious snack-like an apple.
Good luck!

You CAN help it. If the urge to indulge after school is too strong to resist, then I suggest eating something at school, even if it's snack-sized. That'll help make the urge less. Trust me, I know. I used to eat a lot after school, too. I realized it was because I was bored! My ritual was to sit down on the couch after school and watch TV until 5:00. I have a show that I like to watch on TLC at 4:00, so I'd wait for it to come on. I got bored, so I'd get food from the kitchen and bring it into the living room. Before I knew it, I'd eaten enough food to fill me up. Then supper came along and I couldn't eat that much. You know, meals are much more satisfying when you're actually hungry for them. So now I drink a lot of water when I'm watching TV so I don't eat so much. If my stomach is rumbling, though, I feed it an apple or something small like that. Let me ask you a...

So now I drink a lot of water when I'm watching TV so I don't eat so much. If my stomach is rumbling, though, I feed it an apple or something small like that. Let me ask you a question. Do you eat breakfast? You should, if you don't. I know, everybody has told you that, but it really helps. And that doesn't mean that you have to eat the "regular" breakfast food. I've eaten soup for breakfast for the past 3 days! It's really good! (It's vegetable soup that my mom made.) See, I don't eat lunch, either. But I'm not that hungry when lunchtime comes around because I'm still kind of full from breakfast! Like I said before, if the urge to indulge after school is too strong to resist, try to eat a little for lunch. Or, if you watch TV after school, do something to distract yourself from food. Translation: Get off your bum and do something! This doesn't mean that you have to give up your TV. This means do something like lift weights, jumprope, or ride a stationary bike. Try it, see what happens. God Bless!!! (view less)
