My biggest problem is I eat out of boredom....I am very rarely hungry because i eat ALL THE TIME. How do i stop!?! I have a two year old so it's hard to find a hobby or get out and do something...I need help!! Feel like this is going to fail me!!

    you gotta find something to keep you busy thats all there is to it, me, I love playing guitar so ill do that, or go out to the ocean and walk on the waterfront, hobbies are a big deal if your life isnt too crazy. just gotta find your groove theres no other cure for boredom

    Drinking water/tea/coffee, or chewing gum can help take your mind off of eating. Or, try going for a walk.

    Try reading a book - uses your hands - and when you find a book you can REALLY get into, you'll forget about eating. I'm quite musical so I play the piano or try singing for a while.
    Or drink water - tis always a good option :smile:

    Find something to do with your 2 year old so you are not bored. Go to the park, take a walk, do crafts.

    I also eat when I am bored. drink tea, drink water, do some jumping jack, puch ups , or sit ups.....
    But, with a 2 year old, I was never bored.
    outside - Join a play group, go to storytime at a local library, go to a pet store to look at the fish.....
    inside the house - Finger paint, build blocks, color, make a fort, blow bubbles

    Enjoy!!!!!
