The Root Of Evil......

The root of evil many time is boredom, and that seems to be the case in being over weight sometimes to. We eat when we don't have anything else to do.

I always knew I tended to be more hungry when I was bored- like I would bake when I didn't have anything else to do at home. Then I would eat what I made.

Today I was awaken at 5 am by my puppy. By 5:30am I had finished my breakfast (1 cup of Special K with a 1/2 cup of 2% milk) and was getting ready to go to work. I got to work at 6:40 and jumped right in to a busy day. I was crazy busy all morning. The next thing I know I see people walking passed the conference room with food. I looked up and realized it was Noon. Holy crap, I worked right through snack time. I had gone 6.5 hours with out food!

This made me realize a lot of my morning hunger has got to be head hunger and not true hunger.

Once I got to thinking about it I realized I was hungry and I went and heated my lunch and ate.

Now I am back at my desk trying not to start any big projects, as we are out the next three days, and I am floored that I lasted that long.

I know in past times on days that I am really busy I tend not to get hungry and don't eat much. At home when I stay busy doing something, no matter if I am cleaning or working on a project my husband has to remind me it's time to eat.

So the bottom line for me is bordem = fat! I have got to find a way to keep my self busy so food is not a priority.

Food certainly does play mind games with ya!
