Nancy another great thread idea! What I try to do for boredom or the crazy cravings is to go to the recipe forums and look for either something close to what I'm craving at the moment or something that is totally different from my regular rut food. Sometimes just browesing the recipes is enough to tell me that I am bored because of some other reason, like I'm feeling reckless and I am using boredom as an exuse to eat off plan. I want to add to anyone who hasn't been to the recipe boards that there are tons of simple 2-5 min recipes and lots of microwave in a bowl type recipes too.
