Eating When Bored


During a 9 hour ride – from Big Bend National Park to our home - I had a wonderful opportunity to ask our two oldest grandsons about their food habits. Both mentioned that when bored, they did not hesitate to go to the kitchen to snack, even if they weren’t actually hungry. Here’s what struck me. The boys thought this was a perfectly reasonable thing to do and did not chastise themselves for eating to assuage boredom. Is it possible that we are simply too hard on ourselves around our food habits?
