i eat when i'm bored!

I don't think that we can use the psychological thing as an escape goat for eating too much. Most often than not, we use this reason because there's nothing better to say. Although, I do not deny that I also eat when I'm bored or when there's nothing else to do, I don't blame it all on my brain. I blame it more on my metabolism that never takes a break so that I would stay full for a couple of hours in the least. It might be just a force of habit for you because if there's nothing to do, the first thing that comes to mind is rummage the refrigerator for something to eat. I recommend distracting yourself with other things. Find another hobby, side from eating :-)

that is a habbit and you need to get over it as soon as possible or you might feel a bit depressed and shameful for sure

These things i always hate to do but i love to eat while doing something that makes me bored. It makes me more happy in eating that is why now i am looks like a drum! :). One of my friend told me to stop eating a lot of foods to makes me more comfortable with my body. But i told her " i would like to enjoy nowadays for eating..!" She was just laughed and said it's up to your if you like to be an elephant size.. I will reduce eating but not this time. There is a time for being sexy again.

It seems to me we have the same issue. Hahaha Well, anyway we can't deny the food but we can have the discipline to eat what is just enough for us. And this is what I am trying to achieve. To achieve food discipline. To be able to lose weight, I must try my best to be more discipline when it comes to eating.

yes that's true i am also a suspect for getting food from fridge when I'm not doing nothing it's one type of relaxation for me and it gets me really hungry not doing anything that's why people gets fat normally when they stay at home nothing to be busy at except eating a lot and thinking what to eat. ha ha

This remind me of the life in college. I usually stay in the dormitory when class-free. Nothing to do but eating, then I fall into a habit of eating when I am free. No doubt I become very fat that year. So fat so I can not wear my old clothes . The most thing is that I look urgly. This make me discipline myself to eat a normal diet every day. Now I am not slim but not fat too.

Many of us do this - though I don't do FB but mylot but we just eat and we are not hungry. Not a good thing to do though and we should try to discipline ourselves. It is psychological as we are comforting ourselves with food that we do not need

I`m sure that many of us have the same problem. Just think that sometimes we ask another person which is his "comfort food". That means that food is not only a way to safisfy hunger, but it also has an ulterior significance. Probably what you should do, if you are worried, is to discover a healthy way of munching when bored. Fiber cereal (dry, with no milk or sugar can be an idea. Another one could be having around carrot sticks.

Hmm.. That's strange! I have heard people saying that they eat more when they are nervous or when they are sad, but I personally never experienced this. There have been times when I have felt nervous, or have gone through a sad phase but I never took eating as a rescue. May be because I had people around to comfort me and so I didn't look up to food as my companion. Well, in your case may be after a whole lot of work your body feels the need to be charged up and therefore crave for food. If you pick a healthy snack like salad or fruits, I guess you need not to bother about this habit then.

I have the same problem. Especially when I have small snacks lying around me. When I'm bored or when Im doing something that doesn't require a lot of attention I just subconsciously reach for those snacks. I need to buy less snacks.

Me too! I always eat, even though I have already ate my lunch/dinner.. I always eat when I'm bored and stressed :(

Eating is not a sin. If it relaxes you, then you should do it more often. Hahah. I so love eating to :3

When you eat due to emotional stress, experts call it "emotional eating" or "compulsive overeating." Yeah, I agree that discipline helps to become a wiser eater and be healthier too. If you overeat, just do it once a week and try healthier foods. But still, its "over". Too much is always bad. Hope this helps! Good luck ;)

Just about everyone I know has this same problem to some degree. Honestly, I kind of wish I HAD it- as I am the exact opposite - I have to remind myself to eat! I seriously went like a day and a half without eating at all, just drinking fluids :/

I think it is not good to eat when not hungry and when bored. I would suggest you to keep yourself busy and when we are depressed we might eat more. I think it is good to make some good hobbies and this will keep you busy.

Eating in boring is very common. I do the same inspite knowing that eating much not good. Resulting I am gaining weight. I think my lot would be best option.

You need diversion.. you must keep yourself busy all the time not to think food..be careful it may cause you heavy weight..

i also eat when i get bored this is my way of relieving stress also, but we should control our habit of eating, i admit i get too fat when i'm always eating every time i get bored or finding some food to eat like chips.

Almost everyone does this, including me. When someone gets bored and nothing to do,only one thing left to do. Eating Whenever I was in tension, I also likes to eat. Its okay. Have a good day

I think it is good if you eat nutritious food, I think you should focus to some things. Start to cope your problem and do not believe on that phrase. Maybe, it also influence you to eat.
