Food

[jennyjoan]

How can a person stop eating food when there is nothing else to do. I am trying to drink loads of water hoping against all hopes.

Find a way to keep your hands busy to stop you reaching for a snack - a wordsearch or other puzzle book or a jigsaw for instance.

I don't bother jj, I enjoy my food too much!

Or chew strong gum...the mint flavour will make anything else taste nasty.

[margarettom]

I only wish I knew the answer to your question jj. I suffer from the same problem.

[Smowball]

Replace with wine....... :)

[cashier]

Read a book, do a puzzle of some sort, take your dog for a walk.

I sympathise J J, it is difficult. I've gone down the jigsaw route mentioned, and also taken to chewing gum again, but it's still difficult. I spend hours on the internet too, which can be educational if you choose wisely. I've embarked on several Courses (free) with FutureLearn, some of which have been very absorbing (but some have been awful unfortunately).

I end up with doing something quite popular years ago, but seems to not be popular any more and that's twiddling my thumbs - give it a try perhaps :-D

Good luck.

Jenny; what would you normally be doing?

[MartinMillar]

Try knitting

[Bobbisox1]

Just do as you want JJ, there's time enough for a weight loss programme when we're through this pandemic

[Vagus]

The wool gets stuck round your teeth though, Martin ;)

[tiggerblue10]

Are you going for permitted walks, Jenny?

[MartinMillar]

Yes at the moment we can go for exercise within 10 miles of our honest

I think jj means she can’t go out socially at the moment. Normally I go out to coffee, lunch and the theatre quite often. I do an exercise class weekly, a monthly Breathe Easy meeting, a monthly Lierature at Lunchtime talk, weekly line dancing and occasional days out . All this is gone and no amount of jigsaws, crosswords, puzzle books, TV, DVD’s, books, walks and phone calls from friends can replace these activities which distract me from eating, except at set mealtimes. This, to me, is what nothing else to do means.

And I'm bloody sick of digitilisationionion - kindle, Alexis, Sky, Freeview - jesus - only so much of TV I can watch and now I'm wondering what is wrong with my eyes - I looked at the mirror tonight and they are square instead of round. I'll have to make an appointment with Mr Specsavers.

[ummmm]

I said to my friend, put a child lock on your fridge. Them couple of seconds could be the difference of snacking or not.

I have a child lock on mine, the amount of times I've went to open it and the fact it's locked makes me walk away. You're not hungry, you're bored. Take Maxi o

I can vouch for one of those Tony and it's not the weight gain.

[pastafreak]
