Well it is among one of my worst habits.Whenever i'm bored and have nothing to do,i'll rush to the kitchen,open fridge and will start eating whatever i find interesting.Everybody is worried because of this problem of mind.No matter whether it is my mom,Girlfriend or my Gym instructor everybody tells me to control myself a bit.I had this problem since i was a little child but at that time i hardly got any time to get bored.Now a days i'm spenting a lot of time off work.I'm done with my school and waiting for admission to a college.I don't have much friends over here,we don't have a steady supply of electricity so apparently i easily get bored and eat a lot.I've gained like 10kg of wait and now i'm really worried.
So are there any people around who have same problem and who know any way out..?

I don't really ever have a lot of time to be bored, there is always the computer and mylot and other such sites that I can get on and do. I do sometimes forage for food just for no reason but I really try not to give in to the impulse of eating. Maybe you should stock up on some foods that are not fattening for when you get the munchies like yummy sweet grapes or pretzels. The best thing you can do is just keep those bad snacks out of your house then you can not go and get them when ever you are bored. Next time you get bored go out and take a walk.

I have. haven't actually thought of curing this. I guess it's just a matter of self control :)
I have weak self control when it comes to food. I grew up in an environment that when it's about food, nothing will be held back.

I always search around for food to eat when I'm board. I haven't gained any weight from doing this though, so I haven't tried to stop my habits. If I did start gaining weight from it though, I think I'd be in trouble because I probably couldn't control myself.
Maybe I'd try looking for other activities to do so my mind isn't board enough to want random junk foods lol

I'm always bored so this is always a problem for me. I always seem to be bothering my mom for more food, though unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) she never makes me any. Every once in a while she will if I beg enough, or just give me a snack I can make myself. I don't think my problem is as bad as yours though, so hopefully you can overcome this. :]
