Go out for a walk or do some housework whilst listening to some music

Thanks I have a very small house so there is only so much cleaning I can do :/ I am also alone most of the time which doesn't help thinking I could have some chopped veges or fruit handy to just grab?

If you're bored you need to find something to do otherwise you will only eat for eating sake whether its crisps n choc or fruit n veg... its food that you don't otherwise need and its habit-forming.

Its best to find something else to do - one of the easiest thing is to phone a friend or relative and have a gossip for half an hour until the boredom subsides and your mind is taken off wanting to eat. I phone my sister and we give each other a pep talk - even if I've phoned her earlier that day or we met up at the weekend - its a rule we have that at any time of the day if we are feeling bored and want to turn to food we phone each other.

Other 'distraction techniques' - hobbies, gardening, walking round the block a couple of times, dancing to a favourite cd, going through contents of drawers/wardrobes - are also favorites for me. Anything that absorbs the mind and keeps the hands busy usually works for me.

Don't try watching tv or reading books or magazines as you can eat while you do these.

Good luck!

It's the age old head hunger boredom trap we fell into pre-op we have to find something to do some hobby that stops us being able to eat at the same time to break that old cycle. Not easy far easier to revert to old habits but far better to persevere & fight the urge than give in.
