Eating habits at work?

When I am at work I feel like a bottomless pit. I am always hungry...doesn't matter if I had the biggest lunch...I still want more....I don't even know if I am even hungry.

At home I don't have this problem. I very rarely snack or feel this constant urge to eat...

I think it may be boredom...but does anyone else have this problem? And what do you do about it.

yup i definitely have this problem. it's so annoying b/c i usually end up giving in and eating. i'm sure it's b/c of boredom, if i stay busy all day it doesn't happen. oh well...

Yes - I try to eat breakfast here instead of home so I can eat a late lunch and try not to snack from 2 - 5:30. It has to be boredom b/c when I have work and the day flies by I don't eat much at all.

Its definetly the boredom - I suffer from this problem as well - I always feel the need to be chewing!!

I'm the opposite. At work I barely think about it - I get lunch when I really need something to drink. But at home I am thinking 'hmmm, what else is in there?'

That's true too, when I have really busy days, I don't find myself reaching for snacks as much.

I guess I need to tell my boss that I don't have enough to do....that would be funny!

It's funny you say that, I have the exact opposite problem...I almost forget to eat and don't feel hungry at work, but at home I'm the bottomless pit!

I'm the exact opposite too. I'm so busy at work I don't even have a chance to think about food. But when I come home watch out!

Me too! And I'm often bored at work! For some reason though I eat really well during the day but I blow when I'm at home!

we have a candy dish at work and it's terrible - everyday someone fills with some type of delicious,irresitable,candy...today we had bite size 3muskaters (and I don't even like them - but i ate them anyway)

The faculty lounge at work is off limits to me during the afternoon because there's ALWAYS cakes and donuts and bagels and everything a little porker's(AKA: ME!) heart could desire. I have to avoid it or I'll eat it. I do get hungry at work a lot, though, but I think it's because I'm constantly running around and what not. I space out my food for the day, though, so by the time I'm hungry, I had already planned for it.

See when I bring healthy snacks....for some reason I just eat them all one after the other. If I know I have it, I want to eat it.

I am so bad!
