Boredom eating is the worst, and most people I know with weight issues have a hard time not doing it.

Eating and Boredom is like death and a cemetery: they go hand in hand.

Walk is what one should do. Just get a snack and something to drink and walk. I draw a lot and find myself sometimes drawing and eating for hours. From this I went from 202 to 270+ in no time.

Now, i bike. I also get my art materials and walk to the park and have a small picnic with myself while I draw. The time walking/biking to the park is exercise.

Drink plenty of water. I have lost all of that weight I gained by just walking/bike riding and drinking water. (Of course of cut some stuff out of my my diet).

The hard stool sounds like not enough good fiber and far to little water. The bloating sounds like you may need to look at your electrolytes a little more as well. I know that progesterone can impact electrolytic balance.

Hope that helps

I dislike Halloween, because of all the candy available. I have gained 8 lbs. Damn sugar, anyway.
