Hey everyone! So i had been doing really well eating and working out with mfp, but i am on break right now. i was fine for the first few days, but now i feel like all i do is watch tv and surf the web. as a result, i've been eating when i'm not hungry. i really don't want to sabotage myself! so i'm wondering...what do you guys do when you're bored?

    Pinterest, Facebook, movies, looking for new music, knitting, painting my nails, doing hair, now that it's warmer outside I pull my friends out and wander around the mall... Stuff like that.

    You could maybe try to take up a non-food hobby, such as learning a new language or some kind of a craft? Most people don't think about food when they have their minds somewhere else.

    walk. run. cook and bake for other people. look up healthy versions of things that look yummy but are too fatty and try them. (black bean chocolate cake?! who knew?!). study. watch tv. beg my boyfriend to play cards with me. life weights. yoga. pinterest.

    Try painting, cross stitch, crocheting...anything to keep your hands busy. If your hands aren't available to grab a snack, then they won't!! :)

    This was me for the past 2 weeks prior to looking AWESOME and down almost 12 lbs. I stopped with the gym and wanted to just walk and hike outside plus deprive myself of less calories.... now I just WANT to eat and cook AWESOME meals.... I now will be working out at home but if I choose to be lazy and eat whatever I am forcing myself squats, crunches and gulping at least 10 cups of water.

    My addiction is genealogy - so I do that whenever I can - tracing your family tree is (for me anyway!) interesting, addictive, gets your research and mathematical skills working, and you will find all sorts of interesting stuff along the way. Mind I am old, and this may not appeal to young people - but do it now whilst your grandparents and older relatives are still alive, you will learn things you never knew you never knew :-)

    And MFP - there is lots to read and think about :smile:

    Read a book, play video games, browse MFP/YouTube/various other sites, chat with some friends, etc.

    That's basically it.
