I emotionally eat and i know the emotion (or lack of) is boredom. I know I'm bored at home, work the gym and i don't know how to kick it i have great self control if I have a daily plan but if something changes or I'm surprised I throw it away. I really don't know what to do and I feel boredom is the reason I eat.
How can I stop it when I'm at home etc?

i have the same problem girl
1now that im not working or going to school, i get bored and eat
the best thing to do is not bring junk food into the home
at least if i snack its a fruit, veggie or some low fat yogurt
yes i get aggravated sometimes...but thats better than gaining all the weight
It's so hard, fitsugar always addresses emotional eating in her articles by identifying the problem and changing that pattern but it's not like being sad or angry it's being numb. It's so frustrating.
I've decided bread and cereal are what I tend to go for so NO MORE!
2if i find myself bored and wanting to mindlessly snack i either go brush my teeth or chew some minty gum. the minty taste in my mouth from the toothpaste or gum turns me off to eating for a little while and i find myself eating less between meals
3Great ideas. If only I can think to do that before I put something in my mouth.
