activities you associate with food

Sitting at my desk at the office, with a to-do list that's too long. I ate out of boredom and stress to slow my thoughts down and help me organize my workload. Now I'm trying to take a little walk around or drink water or tea instead. The office is hard - someone is always giving me food.0

"I enjoy the vodka more than food." fbmandy55 This is awesome!
I like to snack binge while I do my schoolwork. Found that if I start a timer and do X minutes without snacking that can get me going on the assignment and I don't need the snack so much.0 -
Being bored = raiding the fridge/cabinet/kitchen drawers for something. Anything.
Exchange "bored" with lazy and you get the idea for my situation...
I've started cleaning and reorganizing my home when I get bored and feel like being lazy just slouching on the couch. If I do sit down, I have to do something like I do right now, typing, reading news online etc. If I watch tv it's pretty much the same as sitting being bored with my hands idle.
My salvation has been getting the house in order. I could probably have knitted some sweaters or whatnot if I could knit but the whole idea is that I don't sit down just to sit. And I burn more kcals too this way, double win though I still struggle when I'm tired, sick, or just want to relax for a while.. drinking water helps a lot..0 -
I do sample some of the "forbidden fares" if someone tells me it is amazing...why waste calories on mediocre high cal. foods.
completely agree. if i'm going to have a high cal food.....it'll be a damn good one
Thirded. I'll hit the gym if it's yummy enough to eat.0 -

For me...bowling and going to the movies. Both activities necessitate some sort of snack.
Also oft times, sunday afternoon football. If the kids are napping and we're just watching football, I feel the need to break out chips and a soda for some reason.0 -
Carnivals. I don't eat any of the freaky deep fried snickers/twinkies/etc (never cared to try it) but I find it hard to not want some chili fries, a corn dog, fresh lemonade, funnel cakes, etc. I go to at least 1-2 carnivals a year though so I am learning to cope!
The only thing that helps is that I neverrrr eat until I'm done riding all of the rides (usually takes a few hours) to avoid the risk of puking.0 -
Going to the movies is one of the toughest for me. I try to go around lunch/dinner, and I take a bag of turkey jerky in with me. It's super low fat, high protein, and a great meal replacement. Sometimes it's not about removing the food, its just about proper planning.0

Yup!
Movie theater = popcorn w/ butter. Still can't resist but I try to make it fit into my daily plan better.
Driving = snacking. I'm doing much better at this one - nuts or a protein bar to keep me awake and I need much less of those than worse-for-you snacks.0
