How many times do you go to the Fridge???

[Trisha1197]

Just wondering if there was anyone out there like me that every time that I pass by the fridge for whatever reason I find myself opening the door and looking in...

WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR??????

I caught myself doing it again today and I was completely unaware that I was even doing it! That is CRAZY!

I guess it is another sign that I am needing something in my life...like something is missing emotionally or something...I was sitting here thinking about it and trying to figure out why I do that.

And especially in times of boredom, and stress I just stand there thinking...sometimes not really even about food...but I just stand there with the Fridge door open...

It's like I have to have food to even think my way through problems...

Are any of you like me????

My biggest cause of weight gain was being home all day. I would find myself eating out of the fridge for no reason. It just becomes a habit. A habit you need to replace. Are you bored, are the kids all asleep and you are loooking for comfort. Are the kids driving you nuts and you are just walking away and end up at the fridge. Make a new habit that will replace opening that fridge. Or keep it and load it with baootles of water. Every time you open the door chug one.

Where in Texas I am just north of Victoria?

Oh sure, I have done that a billion times. And it really is out of boredom and habit. Especially when you are home with small children. I usally find something to occupy my self, and there is always something in the house to clean or re-organize. Not fun, but it will redirect your mind.
Keep figting the temptation! You'll do GREAT!

Hi Lauren,

I live about 45 minutes east of Dallas in a small town. We live in the country...the sticks as I like to call it but it is nice because there is a lot of quiet that you don't get in more crowded situations!

TODAY..I make a new goal...do not go to Fridge and open it out of just habit or boredom!!! Only with an intent purpose will I open that dreaded door!

I am sorry we are so far apart! How is your day going?

We live in a cramped dorm, and our fridge doubles as a bookshelf/beauty cabinet. Half the time I open it it's not for food- and when I am looking for food it's insane-hard to find!

Opening and looking in the fridge is fine, it's the grabbing something from it and stuffing it in my mouth that's the problem......lol

Boredom, habit and (I have come to understand) THIRST! I think like 1/2 my excess weight came from eating when I was really thirsty! Thank Atkins I figured that out!
