I'm a law student, watching a basketball game and reading Con Law :yawn: and I disagree with the Court over and over here :mad: ... so it's like reading a book that tells me my religion is wrong, but there's nothing I can do about it. :grumble: And I just want ... something. Except I don't. I just want to not read this poo and be doing something fun (I'd almost clean my house instead of this, but I've got to get the reading done.) :sad: :sad: :sad:

Kay :happy: all better - big girl panties are back on! I hope everyone else is having a better Saturday, and those stuck inside with all that snow stay safe and warm!

    I know exactly what you mean! I ate a frozen chicken cordon bleu for lunch...just because I was bored, and too lazy to fix something good. So than I made myself work out for an 1 and 45 minutes because I felt so guilty. I am unfortunately snowed in and trying to fight the snacking because I am bored!!

    Probably the biggest problem I am working on is how much I snack when I'm bored or think I'm hungry. It's actually tracking my diet online that keeps me from snacking too much. I remember that I want to save my calories for dinner or lunch depending on the time of day. Just seeing what a difference snacking makes on my diet helps to try to remember not too go too crazy snacking when I'm bored. Good luck!!

    I hate reading my text books too. They always make me want to take a nap, which isnt much better than eating junk food since I have four kids running around the house. lol. I feel you!!

    This reminds me of a ridiculous poem that my friends I wrote about 7 years ago when I was in college- it was called "Finals Make You Fat" and went something like this:

    Final Exams lead to studying. :ohwell:
    Studying leads to boredom. :yawn:
    Boredom leads to eating. :indifferent:
    Eating leads to being fat. :sad:
    Finals make you fat. :laugh: :tongue:

    Well hopefully everyone else was able to do like me (air popped popcorn and some Fiber One frosted cereal) to get some salty, some crunchy, some sweet and be full afterwards! Now if only we had a foot of snow here (in Alabama) to go shovel for some extra working out!

    Glad to see I wasn't alone though - MFP is great! :bigsmile:

    (and Finals SO make you fat!!!)

    So far, so good. I had my mid-afternoon snack about a half hour earlier than normal. I just couldn't hold off! But I'm fine now, and I'll be able to hold out till dinner for my next meal. I have lots to do to keep me busy between now and then, so it shouldn't be a problem. I sure was sweating it earlier, though!
