Stop Boredom Eating!
3 09 2007If 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.

Great post Joe! This is something that I have struggled with in the past as I like to stay up late at night whereas my wife and kids are normally asleep much earlier.
Watching TV late at night can lead to a lot of boredom eating if you are not careful. Your list of alternative ideas is great and should help keep the food away.
