Something strong like a cough drop does it for me, usually; although yesterday at the movies I had one of my son's Atomic Warheads, and it was so sour it totally fried my tastebuds for hours

At home, when I'm eating because of boredom, I usually pick something that takes a long time to eat, like sunflower seeds or cherries.

[QUOTE=almeeker;15761]I sooooo want to be that way too, but I can't seem to make it stick. I can put whatever I want in that log, but what actually goes into my mouth is a completely different story. QUOTE]
haha @almeeker. It does still take that will power. I'm having one of those 'want to eat from boredom' moments right now. When I'm busy and only have time for the meals/snacks that I plan and or I'm not at home, it's so easy to stay on track. But my plans for the night were cancelled, leaving me defenseless against the ice cream in the freezer (bought only for the bf to eat) and I know if there were tortilla chips on hand, I'd be binging.
*sigh* I want the ice cream really really badly and am employing all the will power I can muster not to keep eating. I'm not even hungry, just finished dinner, feel almost overfull from that to begin with. Ok, guess I'm going to find something to do until dinner is all digested and then go to bed before I get hungry again. (Yes, sometimes my best defense is to just go to bed...)
