weight loss and boredom

Many people reach for high-caloric snack foods when they get bored. Being house-bound on stormy days provided much boredom as we can only take so much Seinfeld, Friends, and at a certain point, Everyone HATES Raymond.

Whether it be a slow day at work, being house-bound by weather or attending to an ill child...it is important that you do not start succumbing to the boredom-induced snacking. Try to NOT have around the house those food sources (popcorn, nuts, etc) that will usually be reached for.

Make use of that dusty exercise equipment in the basement. Have a really good IPOD selection of music ot TV in front of that machine as you work out to make the time go faster.

Also, try to NOT do distracted eating, which means sitting in front of the TV or computer screen with a fod source next to you.
