If you’re trying to lose weight pay attention to your eating habits. Do you snack when you’re bored? If so you’re probably not really hungry, just doing something to keep your hands busy. Unfortunately boredom results in weight gain. Start keeping a journal to find out whether you’re snacking out of boredom. When you catch yourself reaching for a snack ask yourself, “Am I REALLY hungry?” If you’re not really hungry, do something to snap out of boredom. Go for a walk (extra bonus=burns calories), search the net, call a good friend…do anything but reach for a snack.
