What do YOU do when you are bored?
I'm starting to get bored......... I'm 6 days post op, and feeling well, so don't feel like sleeping all the time. I get tired of the computer. I've played some games online... checked e-mail.... then went on to crocheting... then went on to watching TV... then out for a walk... then played with the dogs.... made dinner for hubby.... sipped my protein shakes all day (as directed).....
I'm not having hunger issues (thank God!!!)....... I am just BORED to death! Maybe I need to buy a good book to read!?
What do you do when you are bored, and don't want to get yourself in trouble with food? I know this was a problem in my past, so I will need to find ways to deal iwth boredom.
Thanks for any ideas!

OMG I hear yah. what do you do? I been home with my hip now for the past week an a half and I am going crazy. I go walking watch TV play on the computer but, there is not much more I can do. I talk on the phone. I have had my dad and mom come get me during the day and bring me up to there house for something differant. I do hear yah about being bored. I at one point put a note on my FRIG. (WALK AWAY YOUR JUST BORED.) Sound funny but it did stop me from turning to food.

Hello there my Darlin'!
I, basically, do the same things you're doing. I clean the house, walk, go to the gym, go visiting the kids, make jewelry, do needlepoint, dried and silk flower arrangements, etc. I really have to keep my fingers and mind busy. This way I don't open the fridge or go shopping,,,,,again. I actually hate to go shopping but it occupies me for an hour or so and helps me get some walking in too. Sometimes I don't even buy anything.
A good book really helps. What do you like? I'll pick one up for you and bring it tomorrow.
You can teach me to play that card game tomorrow too! Hee hee
I'll call you later!
Love ya!
