Environmental effects on eating
I don't eat as much when I'm happily busy. News flash, right? I feel hungry when I'm at work because my mind isn't always enjoyably occupied. I might be busy, but I'm not having what I'd call a Great Time. Most of the time, the hours are not Flying By.
Yesterday I spent many many hours in the sewing room, working on various projects. I made myself go fix dinner because I knew![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick was getting hungry. If he hadn't been home, I probably would have just poured myself another cup of tea. Not that I wasn't hungry (when I finally did eat, I was happy to do so), but it wasn't a constant, nagging urge in the back of my mind, like it is when I'm at the office.
I know that I tend to eat when I'm bored. I hadn't put facts together to reach the conclusion that my job is helping me stay chubby.
I'm not going to quit my job, and I'm tired of feeling fat. So how do I stay happily busy and fully mentally occupied while at the office?
This is going to take some time spent in thinky-thoughts. I need a long-lasting solution that's more than just collecting a bunch of busy work. I've already got that in spades.
