The power of nothing!

I find that a true enemy of weight loss is the ever dangerous and ever present....boredom.  Boredom sneaks up on me.  I could be perfectly fine reading a book, watching a movie, or staring into space when I suddenly find myself beset by boredom.  What happens then? I get hungry.  Its like boredom and hunger go hand in hand.  There is something entertaining about eating I think.  I guess its the act of putting the food together, actually engaging in eating and then the feeling of satiation afterwards, except just like getting high the euphoric feeling is temporary and eventually the boredom that lead you there comes back.  It is hard to fathom just how hard it is to combat boredom.  I wish my boredom lead me to want to do something different like workout or write the next great American novel, but alas no.  My boredom leads me to want to stuff my face 'til I burst.  Gorge and burst, that's my motto.  Boredom seems unconquerable.  How am I supposed to fight something as strong and ever present as boredom?  I believe the worst part of boredom is that I can be bored while doing something I otherwise enjoy.  It is this aspect of boredom that makes fighting it even harder.  I ALWAYS enjoy eating,  Eating is never one of those boring things that I find no entertainment in.  I need some redirection in my life but I'll see what comes up.  Perhaps a hobby?  Something that takes up more brain power, or hand use....something, cause I'm about to be done in by something that basically amounts to nothing.  I hate being bored!
