Re: I fell off AGAIN!!! nooo
Awww Cassius... sorry to hear that. Boredom is evil in many ways. Loads of us know all about eating through boredom.
Now though, you know how it can affect you so you'll be able to cope better another time.
When bored, instead of opening the fridge/food cupboard, go for a walk... do a few chores, watch a film... anything at all to distract you from food.
You can do it!Before and after:
PLEDGING FLIGHTS
Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

Hey Cassius, I remember you! Welcome back. Did you fall off the wagon from boredom of eating this way, or boredom, boredom?
If it was from eating this way, did you bump up the food ladder appropriately so you wouldn't have to eat the same stuff over and over?
If it was from boredom, boredom take up a new hobby like knitting or something that uses your hands!Comment

Re: I fell off AGAIN!!! nooo
Thanks for the positve responses! It was not from the food. It was just I was bored, and didnt have anything to watch on t.v., or was tired of dancing and things!Stats:Starting Date: 1. 19, `0816/5'5"/femaleHighest Weight: 194.5Starting Weight: 194Current Weight: 194Goal Weight: 135Mini-Goal Weight: 165

Re: I fell off AGAIN!!! nooo
I hear ya. Saturday I was on Day 6 of induction and tripped over a cookie. I didn't even want it! I went somewhere new and saw cookies and offered one to my 3 year old. She took a bite and didn't want it and gave it back! I couldn't find a garbage can anywhere!!!!! On my way to find a place to get it out of my hands, I ate it
. It caused me to blow the whole day. But now I'm on my 2nd day clean (after my blowout) and found that I've lost 4lbs. I guess my body overlooked my transgression - this once.

Re: I fell off AGAIN!!! nooo
Don't feel bad. I'm having the same problem. I'm only on day three, haven't cheated and I refuse to cheat, but the boredom is really tempting me.
What I'm doing is drinking water every time I get tempted to go to the fridge. It's working for me.
I'm sure you'll stick to it this time around. Best of luck

Re: I fell off AGAIN!!! nooo
I'm a full time housewife (which I love) but I'm home almose all day so boredom played a big part in getting me this way. But I've been drinking so much water (about 100 ounces a day, sometimes more) that I find every time I get bored I have to make another trip to the bathroom. It's a small thing but it works most of the time

Re: I fell off AGAIN!!! nooo
I know exactly what you mean!! I used to work in a really quiet office as an executive assistant. Every month I was expected to buy 8-10 boxes of cookies for the office cookie jar. The office cookie jar which stood directly on the reception desk ie. MY desk! This was tough! I was 2 1/2 mo in and had lost about 30 lbs by this time. SO, bored off my head and staring at a cookie jar all damn day was about to make me crazy. I decided that instead of EATING the cookies, I would carefully and deliberately fill the jar. In fact I would wish people would eat more so that I could put more in!! It's so stupid, but it worked!! After awhile I didn't even notice the jar..and then one day my boss came and said you know...maybe we'll start putting these in the lunchroom so I don't keep eating them, I don't know how you can resist!

I think that's great though Joy. You sound like you keep busy with things that you *like* to do!!! Lots of people are so busy...hating what they do every moment. Good job!
