i need a little advice over this way. i often find myself getting bored. when i get bored i want to eat but can't since i'm on a 1000 calorie diet and i only eat two meals a day with a snack in between. i would usually exercise when i get bored but i can't exercise all the time because when i do exercise i tend to get dizzy because i only eat 1000 calories a day. usually when i'm bored there's nothing on tv and i have nothing to read. anyone have any suggestions? they would greatly be appriecated.
also sometimes when i eat my stomach hurts. i don't eat a lot but say if i hungry and it's time for my snack and i eat a granola bar or orange. out of the blue my stomach starts to hurt. anyone else experience this besides me?

I don't know about the granola bar, but I know that oranges are hard on your stomach because of the acids in them. If you are taking any pills take them with food. Just like a saltine cracker or something, because they can also hurt your stomach. I know about the eating when you get bored. I've heard that if you eat like four or five small meals a day instead of two or three big meals a day, it can help. It gives your body fuel, speeds up your metabolism so you lose more weight, and helps sustain your appetite. So take the two meals and the snack you have and split them up and eat them throughout the day. I hope this helps. Good Luck
