Eating Out of Boredom

Hi,

Okay, this may seem crazy for some of ya'll who have hectic lives, but I'm in the VERY SMALL percentage that has a LOT of free time--A LOT!! :rolleyes2::redface::):redface: I praise God that he has blessed me with a wonderful Monday-Friday 9-5 job (no overtime required unless voluntary, and then I am paid time n' half). I have no kids (but 2 dogs) and no hobbies. I come home and fix a homemade meal EVERY NIGHT (to have something to do) and I still have 4-5 hours with nothing to do but watch TV. I wanted to explain myself before I go on. So, I'm starting to eat little things here and there because I'm so bored. I work out on my lunch hour because I like the way it makes me feel for the later part of my day. I've been applying for part time jobs to keep me busy and help out with bills. I think I'm going insane with all this free time! I just needed to "vent" about this. If anyone has any suggestions, please share!!

I have the same problem. Almost all my calories are eaten at night. I like to be home at night, but i think i am going to have to start getting out more. I just sit and nibble. I am losing weight, but i would lose a lot more if i would quit grazing at night. Donna

Me too - but I budget my calories to compensate for this - along with my exercise
