Boredom Eating

[Jasper]

In my seemingly never-ending quest to keep fit, I find myself trying to keep as busy as possible for fear of eating. And on those not-so-rare occasions that I do become bored, I really do eat, although justifying it by saying, "oh it's only thirty calories per bag," or, "it's Weight Watchers' own.. it must be good!"

Does anyone else boredom eat, and how detrimental is it to your regimes/diets/programmes?

I eat when I'm bored. I try to eat healthy foods though, like carrots, celery, cucumber slices, etc. Or I drink a lot of water instead.

It doesn't really have any effect other than making me full for when dinner time rolls around.

Hmm.. but I find that boredom eating doesn't fill me up because I keep wanting to go back and eat more and more. Hah.

I'm always hungry, seriously.
I eat so much when I'm bored aswell. If I'm like really busy I rarely think about food but I do eat alot, mainly due to boredom.

I try see eating as a necessity rather than a form of pleasure - when I'm bored I figure that its a lot more constructive to read a book than eat a bagel.

I eat when I'm bored, its odd. But then I feel sick afterwards. I should stop. :\

I only eat when I'm hungry or whilst watching a movie or a tv series.

OMG I do this all the time. Its so bad. But don't take tips from me, I have ridiculously bad eating habits, always have.

I guess I try to keep active, or at least my brain active, then its not so much of a problem. And keeping the food in the kitchen rather than my room helps, because I am THAT lazy.

I only eat if I'm hungry..which isn't really all that often xD
