Do you find that you eat more when you're bored?

I am pretty lucky in that I do not eat more when I am bored, I usually go the opposite I get too bored to eat! I do get days though where I am just constantly hungry and no matter what I eat I still feel hungry. Luckily though those days are few and far between.

I eat more when I am bored too. I try to keep myself busy so that I am not snacking all the time. Some days it works better than others. Today I have barely eaten anything at all since I was busy this morning making cookies to take up to the gas station(good thing I don't eat all the cookies) and picking berries out in the yard.

Yes, I often eat when I have nothing else to do. I dont do it when I'm really not hungry, but when I feel that I could use a nibble I do it. I find it really hard to avoid eating chips and the like. I should probably stop buying them entirely, but they are always calling to me. I wish the baked chips werent so much more expensive than regular.

Absolutely. If I'm not busy doing something, it's too easy to stop and snack and I definitely do. I'm trying to break myself of that and try to do a little exercise when I first feel that coming on - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Definitely! I've been bored all week since my shoulder's been hurting and there isn't much I can do. So I've been eating a lot more than usual. And all stuff I shouldn't be eating too! Ice cream, brownies, potato chips, etc.

I either eat more or smoke more when I'm bored. Maybe you should find some things to do that will get your interest up? I know...don't tell me because when I'm bored there's nothing interesting to do at my house either.

I can say I fall in the same trap. I think for most people it is a knee jerk reaction to grab a snack when they are bored.

Yes, unfortunately I do. I find that when I'm busy and/or away from home, I don't snack as much. It's a good thing I don't keep junk food in the house. :)

Oh yeah, lol. And I was just thinking about eating something right now. It's a bad habit, which I guess you can call it a habit, to have. It's not not like I want to eat, it just happens. I don't like snacking all day.

I eat when I'm bored too, if I'm home all day and not doing anything, I'll sit here and snack and eat all day. It seems like I'm in the kitchen all day looking for something else to eat..haha. If I'm out and about doing errands or shopping or something, I don't even think about eating or being hungry, but if I'm home all day, I'll eat all day, its weird.

I eat more when I'm bored too. It gives me something to do. And it's something I like to do too.

Yeah, I eat a lot whenever I am bored. And also, if I am depressed I eat a lot. That's actually my resort to forget my depression and to ease my boredom.

I find that I do have this problem, eating seems to be a way for me to pass time when I just have nothing else to do. Sometimes I eat a small snack, sometimes I eat a whole meal, but I'm not really hungry, just trying to stay occupied. Atleast as Americans we have the ability to eat out of boredom, alot of people in the world aren't that blessed. Sometimes I pick up a book to ease my wandering mind, but sometimes it doesn't work. :)
