One of my biggest enemies is boredom. When I am sitting around doing nothing, I tend to get the urge to eat. It used to happen daily at my former job. I snacked all day long. Hence why I never had much success keeping weight off or losing weight. My current job keeps me busy, and I never snack. I only eat at my meal time. Its wonderful. Then on my days off, like today, its hard to not graze (for lack of a better term). My husband is at work during the day and Bella is at daycare...so I get bored. Even doing chores around the house I am bored. So I found myself snack today. Not on anything bad, because, well because we haven't bought any bad junk food in a long time!
My question to my readers tonight is this: what do you do to pass time (besides eat)?! Working out is a great option, but I am not exercising all day long....
Let me know!

Join me on my weight loss journey! This is going to be a very real attempt at losing weight without using a "fast" method. Why? Been there, done that, gained more.
Take up a hobby... Is there something you've always wanted to try, but haven't had the time to? Do it on your days off. I'm thinking of taking up knitting. :)
ReplyDeleteRemember that when you think you are hungry... most of the time you are just thirsty. So, drink lots of water! I agree with the hobby idea. Especially with a sweet little girl like Bella around, you could look into sewing or some other project that would benefit yourself and her (and maybe save some money down the road). Personally, I enjoy cleaning.. and there is always something that could stand to be cleaned around here (we have two large dogs).
ReplyDeleteI try to stay busy but even when I'm at home I find myself wanting to snack..so one way for me to curb that desire to snack is to chew gum. I do it at work too so that I don't over eat or eat out of boredom. Also, doing things I don't normally have time to do, like try to organize pictures, takes up a lot of time and then I get so lost in what I'm doing I don't notice the time.
ReplyDeleteI don't have time to be bored LOL but I do periodically get to a point when I don't want to do my work and then I get hungry. I find that hobbies make a difference especially the ones where you are using both of your hands.
ReplyDeleteJigsaw Puzzles are good to do, or x-stitch, knitting or sewing.
I usually just turn to my DS and play my super Mario or go for a long walk!
I like the organizing the pictures idea :) How about scrap booking?Maybe that is something that might interest you. You can get most everything you need at the dollar store or at thrift stores :)
I eat 3 meals and 2 mini meals everyday... so I really don't have time to snack. I drink lots of water too, which makes me feel even when I am not. Go for a walk, get outside, clean, read my bible and pray, study... I don't know. Do you have a hobby or something you like to do?
