When i'm bored i eat...i don't want to?!?!?
Question:
Also, why do i have random cravings to eat ice cubes? I will take them to my room in a cup filled to the top, and eat and suck on them... WHY?
thank you!
Answers:
simple - keep busy. buy crap food that you dont like to eat & be happy that the ice cubes are 100% good for you!
Good luck with the diet thing...
'cause you like things in your mouth that you can suck on.
ahahahah.
then stop
me too - you must pictuer your food crawling with roaches so you wont eat it
have a cigarette...lol no just kidding but the eating ice thing could be a sign of anemia.-check into it
if you want ice all the time is it possibly bc you are thirsty?? If you are thirsty a lot you could be diabetic
Find something to occupy your time - maybe playing computer games can help...watch tv or play sports with your friends.
[[ idk but ic3 cub3s w0nt mak3 u fat. ]]
i got the same damn problem
but the ice thing is an iron deficiancy
do activities out of the house and away from food.
as far as the ice cube thing? Um because you are that bored?
run everytime your bored or eat fruit
just try munching on healthy things... the cravings for ice can be an oral fixation thing
change the bad habit. instead of eating when you are bored why not try not to be bored. if not then change the types of foods that you eat. you don't get fat eating whole foods
ahhhh!
i do that too.
thanks for askign thi squestion
:D!
Sun flower seeds and celery are really healthy and you can eat it and not worry about you weight.
Ice cubes are normal.
Just whenever you are bored and want to eat, just tell yourself no! Go outside and ride your bike or watch tv or do something! Its pretty sad that you are bored. I like to suck on icecubes. Thats normal.
ice cubes are a habbit and its not a bad one if you are hungry go eat the ice cubes and watch the cooking network its a great way to learn how to cook food that way it will take you a long time to cook...so you wont be eating every 5 seconds
Make a list of alternate things to do (read, go for a walk, etc). The next time you feel the urge to eat, consult the list. Mindful eating takes effort, but it gets easier with time/practice.
I am like that to when I am bored the food says "eat me eat me" But I heard that when you are craving somthing u cant have... then u just eat everything.
you eat when you are bored because you don't want to be bored. Suggest to you that eating is not the way to relieve boredom, if you are bored DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, but eat.
I always want to eat when Im bored too. You should have healthy snacks around i.e., rice cakes, carrot sticks (no dip), dry cereal. If you dont like any of this stuff then you will not want to snack if its the only snacks you have!!
Ice is sooooo good, lots of people do it : )
I'm in the same boat
I need the crunch of something
so I took some of my favorite veggies (carrots, cucumbers, celery broccoli)
cut them up into a gallon jar filled it with water and instead of snacking on pretzels and chips i snack on them
it is definitely helping i lost 10 pounds.
PS i go for walks and bike rides too
then try to distract yourself watch tv walk run draw read dance sing do anything than eat when your bored get a pet something...n the whole ice thing well theres really no problem with that and chewing on them and cracking them with your teeth well your teeth can get messed up in the long run
You could learn a hobby like knitting or crocheting, that would keep your hands busy. Also, have healthy snacks available like apples, bananas or raisins.
Definitely stop chewing ice, it will damage your teeth. Try sugarless gum instead.
OK, the ice cube thing? Is normal. Certain people crave interesting things. Some people even crave dirt, but that doesn't meant that they have a mental problem. It just means, for some reason. They crave whatever there body craves. I even crave blood sometimes. Doesn't mean I'm crazy. See?
OK, now the eating thing? I do the exact same thing, and let me tell you. I get bored a lot, which mean I eat a lot. Plus, I'm not what you call a pretty beauty Queen who;s skinny or anything. So, advice? When your bored and you want to eat? Suck on something. Like the ice cubes are a good idea since they have no calories. But if you to suck on ice cubes? What I use to do, when I was nine, was I'd put like flavor in the ice cubes, and then wait till they froze, and then suck on them. You can use Cool aid, or..just sugar and water. Or any type of thing that mixes with water. It helps when your craving something. Also, what I do. Is make yourself like a special drink instead of eating something. I make hot chocolate with a little bit more sugar, and put a little milk in it. And then some wipp cream on top? Oh yeah. Or make some tea? Something like that. If you don't want a hot drink, then try like a smoothie or something like that. Or even just Chocolate milk. Or milk? Well..good luck. I hope I helped.
1) When you want to get rid of the boring feeling, there are a lot of things you can do other than eating. You can try doing some exercises; listening to soft music; or even go on-line to chat with your friends. I do believe that these are the very good ways of helping you to lose weight.
2) As to your craving of eating ice cube. If you are living in a hot region, that's understandable and nothing's wrong with it. I do believe that this is a very good way of cooling your body down, as long as the ice cubes are made with pure fresh water.
I think you're problem is that you are just an oral person. So am I. I like to put things in my mouth, that's how I've always been. I have a daughter the same way. That's why I smoked when I was young and ate hard candy at work all the time. Try replacing the need with gum. Or maybe try munching on plain popcorn. That's what I do at night, that or flavored rice cakes. That's how I stay thin and still eat alot. It fills you up but it's hardly any calories. I don't ever eat a big meal for supper. Lunch is my big meal. And as for the ice, that's a great munchie to feed your need to be oral. And lastly, maybe get into making crafts. That will help with the boredom. Good luck. You're not alone.
Grab your cup of ice and a good book! No calories and boredom will go away! ;-)=
The solution is.. well there's 2 actually, ok first one: don't get bored.. you can answers people's questions on YouQA.com , you can go on all sorts of websites and games when you are bored. I eat all the time when I'm bored too. You're not alone. The other solution is: If you don't want to spend all day on the computer and you're still bored when your hungry eat ice cubes like you said you like to eat them. They aren't junk food so they won't hurt you if you watching your weight. Or, if you get sick of flavorless ice cubes try freezie pops that's what I eat when I'm bored. Or if you want a snack you can eat rice krispie treats or 100 calorie packs they are really good snacking food that won't put on pounds. (unless you eat them all day)
The craving ice thing is called pica. It is usually an indicator of anemia and you should talk to your doctor to have blood tests done. A simple iron supplement may be all you need to get everything back in balance. As for eating when you're bored.let me know if you find out how to fix that! The best I can tell you is to do your darndest to not get bored! Good luck on your health improvement journey! I'm sure you'll do great!
