“Isn’t it weird how some days we seem to be hungry all the time and others we just don’t care?”
My husband forgets to eat. This concept is so alien to me. I think about food all the time. I spend breakfast thinking about what I am going to eat for lunch and dinner. I sit at work counting minutes until my next snack or meal. I wonder if it is because I am just not stimulated enough at work, but then I realize I do this at home too. What is wrong with me??

Having a stability ball is a great option it keeps you in a constant state of motion and is actually better for your spine. Also apart from helping your spine it’s also a good way of exercising your abdominal muscles plus it doesn’t feel like you’re doing any type of exercise.

Here’s another few tips if you find yourself tied to the desk…

1 – There are times where you may find yourself waiting for a computer to boot up or a project downloading, so why not use this time to take a break from your computer and go for a short walk around a bit. If you have the room and aren’t embarrassed why not a few sit up or push up to get the blood flowing. This can help you return to your desk with a clearer head.

2 – Buy a cycle machine for under your desk so you can pedal through your day, your hands may be busy but this doesn’t mean that you can’t use your legs top burn some calories.

3 – If you spend a lot of time on the phone, you could invest in a hands free kit or head set you could use to allow you to get up from your desk and walk around your office.

4 – Clear out those drawers! – While this article is all about trying to stay active at your desk to burn calories it’s all for nothing if you have your desk drawers full of little treats and snacks you can dip into from time to time. It’s very easy to eat a high calorie snack bar unnoticed by you because you’re so busy doing other things. So try to make it a rule only to eat at fixed times and away from your desk.

Hope they help you and your readers!

I’m trying to do 4 or 5 mini meals a day to keep blood sugar stable. So I ask myself, am I really hungry or just thirsty. Simply because alot of overweight people think they are hungry when they are just dehydrated. So I drink a large glass of water and if I am still growling, then I get myself another mini-meal. I am 3 days in, but I really feel it is working! I am really into mindful eating now.

Wow, great article! This whole situation is such a chore, especially with the New Year’s Resolution nipping at our heals. However, it’s those little things you mentioned, the small habits that don’t take much to form yet go a long way for the dieter, that give me strength and hope in a successful resolution for a change. I’ve been researching this all morning, and I actually found a pretty good article by a woman named Lisa Griffis who actually lost 200 pounds! Her story is fantastic, here’s the link: http://www.sharewik.com/blogs/86983

Again, great article. You really hit the nail on the head!

I too am focusing on intuitive eating. Making good choices and stopping when I get full. Sometimes are easier than others. Sounds like you are right on track!

I love my stability ball chair. You will definitely feel stronger and have better posture. It’s so funny you mention that – my company just moved offices yesterday and as we were moving everything my boss looked at my stability ball and goes “ummmm don’t forget your…chair?”

Yes! I’ve been noticing it & commenting about it on my blog for the last several days. I don’t get it at all, haha.

I’m going to be taking a Pilates class in the Spring, but I have done some Pilates dvd’s. It’s basically core work, but what I love about it is that you’ll get a great workout even if you feel like you’re not doing that much. It gets your body into better shape quickly, too.
