I'm not hungry, just bored

I'm sitting around my house and I keep going into the kitchen to look at food. I got tired of reading and playing video games. A movie does not sound interesting. I'm on heavy duty pain meds so driving anywhere is out of the question. I live in Phoenix and it is way to hot to be outside for longer than it takes my dogs to go to the bathroom.

What do I do with myself? What do you do when you're bored?

    haha i definitely have a couple times during the day where I Just open the fridge or pantry and stare inside for a few minutes and then i usually eat something so small that I don't feel i need to count the calories.

    I have the same problem. There's always stuff to be done. Cleaning, homework, gardening, etc.
    If you don't feel like being productive, then:
    Write some gibberish
    Do some yoga
    Do some pushups
    Draw
    Blast music and dance around like a maniac.

    I knit when I'm bored.

    Or if I'm confused about being hungry or bored, I eat broccoli. I figure if I'm eating broccoli, I'm hungry not bored. Not that I don't like broccoli -- just that I don't tend to over indulge!

    maybe watch some good tv show you missed or wouldn't mind seeing again? There's a lot of stuff on netflix, hulu.

    how about getting a new video game or a multiplayer one?

    otherwise, i dunno. go to a store or the mall and walk around looking at stuff there?
