Keeping Busy

I find that on days that I am not at work all day, it is harder to stay on track. I have too much free time on my hands to think and get bored. Keeping myself busy is key!! I try to get my errands done, clean the house and run after the 'fur baby's' to stay out of the kitchen. I have to say that I'm honestly not hungry, but the thought of food some times temps me. Hoping when summer gets here and this freezing cold goes away things will be easier to get out and stay more busy. Hope you all are doing good.

It's so funny how different people are. I'm the opposite. On days off I find keeping my food in line is easier because I'm not on the road running. I'm a home care nurse though, so I'm not near a microwave and I find it hard to pack a lunch. A sandwich is easy, other things require too many containers.

Oh being on the road would be very difficult for me as well I think! I have the advantage of not being able to eat while at work so the only time it is possible for me to eat is during my lunch break. And I often end up working late so it puts my dinner off even later and closer to bed time. Have you ever considered getting one of those Bento lunch boxes? They do look good and there are MANY lunch idea's you can find on here and other sites such as "theworldaccordingtoeggface".

I was trying to have a revision and one of the requirements was a psych visit.  At the end I asked her what I can do to eat less.  She suggested a "to do" list.  It does help a little.  Tri

LOVE 'to do' list!! I make sure to have one on any day I do not work!!! If I don't, I find I have too much time on my hands which for me always ends up in bad decision making! As much as a day off doing absolutely nothing sounds wonderful-----I'm not at that point in my journey where I can take that risk yet.
