Ok, I'm trying to lose weight but I get bored often and I've found that I eat when I get bored, even if I'm not hungry at all. What are some things to do when I get bored?? I mean, I live in a place where you have to drive 15 minutes to the nearest mall or movie place so shopping isnt an option. And I'm only 13 so I can't drive...What are some fun, random things to do around the house?
rikatree2375 answered Wednesday August 3 2005, 7:59 pm: Try talking to people on the phone or aim. You could read a book...stuff like that. Try to stay away from the kitchen and wherever food is so you aren't tempted!!! Hang out with friends who live close by. There's a lot of stuff to do instead of eating all day. Hope i helped!!!

mystical_breeze answered Monday August 1 2005, 8:48 pm: When I'm bored, I listen to music and dance. I bring my boombox and I dance in my basement, but every time I go with a bottled water so when I get hot from dancing and working out, I won't have to walk into the kitchen (and think about food). You could also use the computer and go to website such as:
You could also call a friend, go to the movie theater, or order a movie on your tv (some people with cox can just order movies and watch it on their television).

MaNdASzHElP247 answered Monday August 1 2005, 8:04 pm: well you know how you eat when your bored? To be full so you wont wanna eat, or even think of food is for you to drink 2 cups of water, then eat some kind of fruit. An Apple or grapes? those are juicy fruits and it will fill you up. then you want snack.
i dunno any random things to do lol. sorry but im sure the advice i just gave you might help. And also you eat and drink slowly during every meal, so you eat less, but get full, and your body will burn fat.

VixenDark answered Monday August 1 2005, 6:19 pm: Try exercising when you get bored! DDR is a great thing. It is a fun, semi-addictive game that makes you exercise. Works for me! ^^
Or exercise your creativity! Write stories, draw, take pictures.
You can surf the web too!
Or find a project. Build something, learn about something, anything that gives you something to do.

x15danni15x answered Monday August 1 2005, 5:36 pm: wow that happens to me all the time, when i dont feel like going out an im bored at home im usually on the computer which keeps me somewhat busy...or i paint my nails and toe nails which also keeps me busy. i sometimes go outside and listen to music or read (even though i dont really like reading) which keeps me away from any food...hope i helped
anne_givings answered Monday August 1 2005, 4:52 pm: i know this sounds terrible but you can clean your room. sometimes i run around the house even though my mother doesnt appreciate it and it can help you loose weight and keep you from eating. if you have a swimming pool do a few laps. when i watching TV i do crunches. sign up for a dance class or something like a musical instrument. draw even if you arent any good. i write poems when i am really bored. if you like to read thats always a boredom buster
hope i helped
