I don't know about all of you, but my biggest issue is eating when I'm bored. With your help, I'd like to put together a "list" of things to do when you're bored at home instead of eating.

1. Clean the house top to bottom.

    GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! take the dog for a walk, go to the cinema, go to the theatre, go to a new exhibit, the kind that u would never go to in other circumstances.

    my old WW leader always would ask someone if they were actually bored or just lonely. A lot of my issues stemmed from hubby working 2nd shift and I'd be all alone from the moment I got in from work until early in the morning. I ate because I was lonely and thought I was bored. Now he's on a better shift but if I feel myself being bored, I try to read a book or play with my cat or watch a movie.

    - Drawing or painting.... even if you're not "good" at it. Just do it for fun.
    - Play video games. (For a version that will get you some exercise, try the Wii or get something like Dance Dance Revolution for the Playstation)
    - Read
    - Watch TV and do squats, planks, jumping jacks, etc during commercials instead of hitting the kitchen.
    - Go for a walk
    - Learn a musical instrument / another language/ how to build stuff / something else you're interested in
    - Play with your pet (if you have one)
