To Snack Or Not To Snack . . . That is the Question
9:47 PM |
The last few weeks have shown me that I am a snackaholic. For whatever reason, I just snack and snack and snack. My favorite item of choice: Just about anything with grease (yummy!). I've been having a great deal of issues because I just want to snack. Right now for instance, I want to go pop of healthy popcorn, but I'm really not hungry. Hmm . . .
Sitting here watching the remake of Friday the 13th and trying to figure out this revelation. In Women, Food and God, Roth talks about "us" being obsessed with food. She states that, deep down, we eat for some deeper meaning in an attempt to not deal with it. At some level, I agree. In my case, I realized I was bored. Yeah, I enjoy the crap I'm watching, but I just eat. Digging into this, I think it started out as boredom, watching movies at the theater, and eating meals while in front of the TV. For me I think it has become a force of habit. At the moment, my brain (?)/ingrained habits are telling me that I need to snack. RIGHT NOW!!! But when I stop and listen to my body, I'm not hungry. Eating the same amount as dinner last night, I felt stuffed! It was only one patty of the meatloaf rounds, but it felt as though I ate a freaking feast! I even decided to try Pepsi Max, but it took forever to drink it due to my fullness level.
I found drink water, but I'm too full to even do that! This is insane!
Do any of your guys have this problem? How do you deal with it?

i say dont snack!! step away from the food. i used to be a snacker too mostly because i was bored and always in the kitchen secondly i eat when i get angry. i have cleaned out my house of not good snacks so it is not so bad but still listen to your body
I snack at work, never at home. I don't know why, I just get bored I suppose.
What I snack on - broccoli, carrots, apple, kiwi, banana, granola. I keep sunflower seeds in my desk just to give my mouth something to do instead of walking to the vending machine.
When you want a snack, just stop and ask yourself are you hungry or just bored? Then walk away if you are bored or grab a crystal lite ;)
Thanks, guys! I figured snacking wasn't a smart idea. I got the junk out of my house, so I have almonds and fruit to reach to if I suddenly find myself snacking.
The crystal lite is a good idea! I have a couple of the packages to put in a little water bottle. That's how I manage to get a lot of water down. Something about no-flavor makes me really bored, and I don't end up drinking more. If you were wondering, yes, I have ADD ^_~
