It's funny, but it's taken me such a long time to realise exactly what my danger zone is for eating and drinking...boredom.
The revelation came to me last night, when I was in a bit of a sulk, because OH hadn't taken the mahoosive hint (ie. me asking him directly to do something last night) that I wanted to do something for bank hol. There was crap on the telly, I'd done all the cleaning jobs, finished my book, had a bath...and just couldn't think of anything else to do. I hate being bored and I was bored. So I kept wandering into the kitchen and hunting in the cupboards for stuff to eat. Anything.
I managed to keep myself quite in check, but I had quite a 'sod it' attitude in my head, that I had to keep reining in. It was horrible and I just realised....boredom is my trigger. Not comfort eating or emotional eating.
It's strange that I'd not really noticed it before. Well, I had a bit, but didn't think it was such an issue...I thought it was more me being a greedy sod or whatever.
Do you know what your triggers are? Would be interesting to hear what you think...and whether you do anything about it...
