Keep yourself busy, especially your hands.
Take up sewing, knitting, making your own cards, crosswords - well anything so that you keep your hands and mind active.
Reading isn't really any good nor is TV.
Keep away from the chocs otherwise you will end up with a weight problem as well as being bored.
Your right smoking is a terrible habbit! You could try chewing sugar-free gum. Or, whenever you get bored you could brush your teeth with a nice, minty toothpaste! Because the fresh, minty taste of the toothpaste will be in your mouth, it will prevent you from eating food because that will create a sour taste in your mouth. Also if you get bored, you could try sleeping (your boredom could actually be a result of lack of sleep) or you could try doing homework or studying (not only will you lose weight, but your grades will improve!) If you want to take it to the extreme, you could go on a jog, or do any form of exercise when you get really bored.
yah, Don't smoke.
But, I'm in the same predicament as you!
(and my name is Lilly too!) woohoo.
Ok..anyways, I ALWAYS eat when I'm bored. What I do is, Go outside and play. Kinda boring, I know. But it honestly helps me.
Try doing something you love. Go for walks. Play some video games! Do your homework? CHEW GUM!
Good luck!
keep a bottle of water on you at all times, drink instead of eating, it'll fill you so you won't want to pick at food.
Chew gum, exercise, go on the computer, call a friend, anything to distract yourself (except smoking :) )
