Day 360: 270 lbs

Once again (argh) I broke my diet yesterday. I gained two pounds to show for it.

My problem lately has been boredom, I think. When there's temptation (i.e. food) around, and I'm not engaged in some other activity, I tend to snack. I snack because I'm looking for some sort of stimulation, and food gives me that.

This suggests that there are three possible solutions. One, don't be near food. That's not always possible, but sometimes it may be.

Two, don't get myself into a low-stimulation environment. Stay mentally busy. That's not always possible either, but there are times when I could be busier.

And three, find an alternative form of self-stimulation (that sounds really nasty). Maybe I can keep a toy or game at my desk, or load up my Palm with Soduku games.
