Ht. 5'10, Wt. 225 - HEY everyone...i figured somthing out today.....i eat when i am bored...it kinda weird but i just started my summer jon and i am so busy all the time that i dont even think about eating. I took a case of water and put it under my desk and some weight watchers food just in case....but i found out that usually i dont want to eat anything...so i guess i am a boredom eater...does this happen to any body else? if so what do u do to avoid eating just out of boredom?

Yeah I am definitely one too. I know it is really hard to overcome because I am in the process of overcoming it too. Good luck!

I'm trying to break the habbit of eating out of boredom myself. Over break I just stay one the computer or active so I don't over eat. Like today I'm going camping. I will be camping until sunday. Just getting out and keeping busy keeps me from over eating.

it used to happen to me. but now when i feel hungry i drink a big glass of water and chew some gum to keep my mouth busy and then i wait say 15-30 min to make sure im not hungry because im bored. it it stays longer, i know i am really hungry and then i have a small snack like a 100 calorie pack.
