Things to Do When You're Bored Instead of Eating

There's nothing I enjoy more than eating, I could eat every hour of every day but then I 'feel bad' after eating so much. My stomach sometimes hurts because it's too full and I sometimes feel bad when it is obvious that I can't control my eating.

If you also eat when you're bored you can do other things to not eat when you're bored:

Watch a soccer game but change the channel on the commercials because they're probably about food. About Pizza Hut's newest pizza with cheese and pepperoni on the crust. And about DiGiorno's pizza, 'It's not delivery, it's DiGiorno's pizza and cookies'. DiGiorno's pizza comes with chocolate chip cookies now, but you need to put them in the oven.

Read things on the internet and try not to think about food. Maybe it is all in your will? But why can't you stop eating?

Don't smoke weed because you will eat for hours and hours. You'll probably eat some food that will be delicious (at the time). Full meals are great but snacks are just as good. Remember last week when you didn't have anything to do Saturday nite and you and your friends just bought a lot of food and got high and ate for the whole nite?

Maybe do some exercise. Play soccer or work out. Read a book. Not one about food. Read books (exclusively) about people like and/or in the same situation as you. All largely follow the same non-plotness. Just narratives about the mundane life of an unemployed twenty-something or something.

Establish a goal for the day. "Today I will only eat 4 times". Though it is vague, it will remind you that you want to be on control and maybe you'll feel bad if you break that promise. Or that's what you'll think anyways. But you'll eventually eat again and won't be able to stop, but you'll feel good.
