    I eat when I'm bored, too. I'm the world's worst grazer. If I can stick to 3 meals a day, I'm fine. I need to do something about it as well. :(

    My problems with food are:
    • I eat when I am stressed
    • I don't eat at regular times
    • I am badly organised
    • I like chocolate very much
    When I am at work, I am able to eat at more regular times, and am better organised, as I will make a packed lunch before I leave work etc.

    Hopefully, as things settle down, I will be less stressed. If I can continue running, this will help, as will the sleep thing.

    As for liking chocolate - I am doomed :rotfl:

    Thanks. I just had one of those "no one is going to do it for you so get out there and shift your lazy ar5e" moments :rotfl:

    A woman after my own heart, although work messes things up for me horribly as I work irregular, ever-changing hours every single day.

    Still, must try to fit some exercise in as well.

    Sounds like a good idea to get straight into the running kit Hypno.

    I do find if I get up and get straight into exercise kit it does make it happen. If I don't I get tempted to keep putting it off.

    Found it worked for me in the UK rental place, got to try to stick to it when I get back. Got to get organised, so that it's ready and highly visible for when I'm half asleep in the morning!!

    I leave for work at 7, and I am so not a morning person, so running before work is a nice idea in principle but in reality just doesn't happen.

    But of course, when I get home from work, I am tired, hungry, and find it a struggle to get motivated to go for a run.

    When I was training for the marathon, I found it much easier to get out there and put the milage in, because I had a definite "can't back out" goal. I need another such big goal, really, to get me working!

    Well done on the running - great head clearer!

    I have a funny attitude with food, when the kids are here and we have scheduled meal times I eat ok but as they are away this week I find I am getting home and grazing and then go to bed and realise I haven't even had a meal. I too like chocolate .......too much!
