Boredom and eating

[Ana]

I eat when I'm bored. I don't know why, I mean eating doesn't make time go by any faster but I still do it.
Well I haven't in the past couple of weeks as I've been trying hard to keep my focus and get back on track.
Thing is I want to pull the hair out of my head, or poke my eyes out or something.
We are going into our slow season at work for November, December and January.
Any ideas on what you all do? This board aint cutting it. It helps but I'm still tempted to eat all the time.
:sad:

[Mols]

Call somebody, read a book, get outside (granted your not in MN :lol3: ), shop, take a bath, clean, DONT bake :lol3:, go somewhere like barnes and noble where you can have coffee and read, walk

[Ana]

I should have been a little clearer. I'm a work. I can't leave, I'm stuck behind a computer and I get most of my work done byt noon. I'm that efficient :lol:
I don't feel this way at home. I clean the crap out of my house that keeps me busy.

[Amy]

So you want something to do at work? Hmmm....I will think on it. I know for me I am the same way with eating. When I am busy I never think about food.

Eat a fireball!!!

What do you eat @ work?
Is there a snack bar or vending machines?

[Ana]

Nope I pack my cooler and eat my meals. There is no vending machine but a restaurant two doors down and lots of goodies in the office to chose from.
Like I said I"ve been good but feeling like I want to slit my wrists doesn't make me feel fuzzy inside. Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh it's just crap that's going to make me feel nasty after, I don't get it

[Patricia]

:( I don't know how to help you. When I'm 'on' I'm 'on'...but lately without a clear goal or a wakeup call I, too, can overeat when I am bored.

[smuggie]

Maybe do some 'net research?

[Ana]

I usually end up searching for recipe's :funny:

[Mols]

Do Kegals :lol3:

I'm the same way. I'm really hoping my brain just flips soon.

:lol:

Ask the bosses to give you more work if you're bored. :p

[Ana]

:lol:

Ask the bosses to give you more work if you're bored. :p
Oh yeah right good call :girly:

[smuggie]

OK. You don't want to do research and you don't want to ask for extra work.

How in the heck are we supposed to help you when you have such a negative attitude? :sad:

[smuggie]

:lol:

[Ana]

:funny:

I didn't say I wasn't going to do any of those things.

[Blondell]

She didn't turn down the Kegels. :shrug:

Interesting I'll look into this. Did you get my pm?

[chelleashley]

and of course you can buy stuff too, but it's wayyyyyyyy wayyyyyy cheaper than the real stuff...

[chelleashley]

yeah, just read it now...:grin:

right now it's a go...unless our weekend shopping trip across the boarder gets pushed back a weekend...:dry: our mortgage refinancing thingy is going through this week instead of last week...:grumble:

[Ana]

You lost me

[chelleashley]

You lost me

digital scrapbooking vs the real paper kind...you can do scrapbooking on the computer...the stuff looks the same as the stuff you buy in stores, but it's on the computer...when you're done the page, you print it out. Or you can display them on a website or something...they're actually pretty cool...and pretty intricate...cause you can use all kinds of fonts and stuff without having to buy the cutters like the real scrapbooking requires...

[smuggie]

Oh we have it, we just don't call it that :p
What do we call it?

In light of this thread, I came upon a question... Do you any of you struggle with eating while your at your computer? I find when I sit down at my computer to either do work or play on the internet, I want to nibble on something. :mad:

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm at the computer all day and when I don't have as much work to do I want to be eating junk, candy, cookies, crap, crap, crap.
I also know it's not a treat if you eat it every day, I have tried to sit on my hands, I've tried to think about sex but that just makes me horny and hungry :girly: I've tried to clean the office but that only takes so long :ban:

Not really. At home I use an apple laptop (it's white) and my husband is so anal that he gets really upset if there's any evidence of food anywhere near 'his' computer :lol: At work, I'm just so used to only eating at my set times (which revolve around what time I go to the gym).

Yes, big time.

Ana when I used to work (I do it know when I go to school) I would never bring any cash with me and that would really help me not to buy anything because I did not want to use my credit/debit card for $2. It really made me think about making a stupid purchase that I knew I would regret.

:D Good plan

[GraceGirl]

I used to work in a maximum security prison (this is irrelevant) doing in-jail court load work (which meant a LOT of computer time), and my office used to be the last office down the hall, next to the break room where there were a ton of vending machines. I'd always get done with my workload a few hours before quitting time, and that room was like a magnet! I ate so much junk!

Of course, I was also overweight because of it. :shrug:

I eat when I'm bored too, so I just try to do ANYTHING to occupy my time. That, or I either try and keep some ready-made healthy snacks waiting for me in the FRONT of the refrigerator. I have my chicken already cooked, some shrimp, and some cut-up vegetables usually on hand. I put them in the front, so they're easier to grab than DH's crap snacks in the back. (But then he gets frustrated when he always has to move things to get to his food.) Ha!
