DietBlog.net: The ramblings of a diet phreak!

Stop Boredom Eating

This came from Denise Austin's Morning Stretch Newsletter:

If you reach for food when you've got nothing else to do, hold on! There are plenty of calorie-free ways to pass the time. Why not try one of these distractions instead?

Call a friend and catch up.
Clean your house, car, or desk.
Relax with a pot of herbal tea.
Take a bubble bath.
Walk the dog, or just go for a walk if you don't have a dog.
Kick back — or dance — to some tunes.
Get creative — paint, draw, stitch, strum! Whatever you do, find an artistic pursuit you enjoy!
Crack open that book you've been meaning to read.
Go out in the garden and pull weeds, prune, or plant.
Volunteer! Get involved in helping others.
Write a letter or an email to a friend.
Dream! Use downtime to make plans for your future
