Instead of eating...
| Tue, 09-28-2004 - 5:24pm |
Okay ladies... (and gentlemen?):
I am trying to get serious again, and it is HARD getting started. My eating habits have gone to crap, and I am thinking of doing weight watchers, but am not sure yet.
My biggest problem, though, is stress- and boredom-induced eating. (How one can suffer from both, I'll never know, but I DO!)
I am starting a list of things that I, you, anyone, could do INSTEAD OF EATING. Please know that I don't mean instead of eating regular meals- I mean instead of over-eating. Please add any ideas you have to the list! :)
1. EXERCISE!!!!
2. Clean house
3. Read
4. Write letters/ emails
5. Call friends and family
give me more alternatives!! :)
Thanks,
Tina

Well, this can be anything, but do whatever takes you AWAY from where the food is.

Here's what I do to keep myself busy (especially at night when it gets lonely and suddenly easier to snack):
- give myself a manicure or pedicure
- sketch
- I've taking up knitting now with a group of girls from work
- I keep my exercise ball in the living room so I'll do crunches, push-ups and weights while watching the tele
- iron (I hate doing it but it has to be done and it keeps my hands busy)
- go for a walk (I especially like walking in the evening)
- see what's happening on the 100+ board!
Hope some of those help!
Cheers

Come post on this board - when you can identify with the struggle and the little successes it can go a long way to stopping the chewing.
Brush your teeth.
Drink a large glass of water.
Sometimes I step on the scales and then that is enough to make me stop and think.
