Things to do for the rest of the night

I've had all I want to have for the night, but now I think I'm going to get bored soon. I live in a terribly small town with no friends in sight, and worse: my cars broke down. What to do?

I just don't want to succumb to food, and going over my daily calorie intake goal.

Any advice would be totally awesome!

oooh that's a tough one! I'm sure lots of people could give you advice on exercise, going for a walk, etc... but I've got something different

 

why not read some webcomics? If you find one you like, you can go to the archives and read the whole thing from the beginning! My favorite is www.questionablecontent.net! =)

Take a REALLY long bubble bath.  Bring a cup of hot tea with you.  Bring a book, a magazine, comic book, whatever in their.  Shave every part of your body that you like to be hair-free.  If you have a deep conditioner, use it.  Make yourself a facial thinger (you can find homemade recipes for them online).  When you get out, lather yourself in lotion.  Paint your toenails and your fingernails.
By the time you're out, you'll have killed quite a bit of time, and you'll feel pampered and relaxed.

OR.  Have yourself a movie marathon.  Watch all your favourite movies until it's time to sleep.  Drink a tallll glass of water whenever you feel as if you may decide to eat out of boredom.

I second what skyeskye said! Take a loooong, hot shower or bath. It will motivate you to stick with ur diet for appearance purposes. That works for me anyway. I wouldn't do the movie marathon tho; many times watching t.v increases the munchies. If you like to read, read one of your fav. books. Or you could work out. Or you could go for a walk. Hope this helps, and stay strong!

sometimes i purposely start something that i know will take a long time, or something i can drag out to take a long time.  like maybe i'll research consumer reports about the best microwaves and how to choose one.  then i'll call a local store and see what models they have.  then i'll email a friend, asking her what she thinks of my options.  etc.

or i'll start programming numbers into my cordless phone while i watch tv.  taking a shower/bath can take a long time, if you do it right.  even a shower:  you have to lotion up afterwards, dry your hair, use a face scrub, clip your nails.  doing house stuff like vacuuming, laundry, organizing your desk, all can take up time and make you feel accomplished when you're done.

also you can write (as in, w/a pen) a letter to a friend.  everyone agrees that letters are the most complimentary way for someone to show their affection.  good luck!

If you want, you can look up the answers so that the questions won't completely confuse, but there's no way you can finish on the first try.

i would say

- read a book, a mag, a newspaper

- the internet is great, also you might want to try one of the game sites such as www.brainking.com

- use forums, email, instant messagin too if you feel like it

- put conditioner in your hair, or have a facial mask-basically what others said, a bath, shower, painting nails...:)

- go through your closet. are there any old clothes you might want to get rid of?

- may it would be a good idea to declutter that make-up bag or something (but i do not know you at all so i am not sure this is the case, just a girly thing:)

- search for lo cal recipes:) but if this is a trigger do not 

I like to do little craft projects at night. They keep my hands busy, and keep me out of the kitchen.  Lately I've been doing lots of collages with pictures from old magazines.  You can make really funny ones to use as greeting cards, wrapping paper and stuff like that.  And it's free!

Go into each room and find 5 things to get rid of!  Five things to throw away, give away or recycle.  Stuff that is obviously garbage (empty cola cans, etc.) don't count.  Whatever you decide to get rid of has to be out of the house tonight -- in the garbage, in a bag taken to the car for recycle, etc. 

Think of it as a game -- you won't be bored.  Just do every room, 15 minutes per room tops! 

Well...why not watch TV and do some exercises during the commercial breaks?

That is a REALLY good one!

The fastest fix I've discovered is brushing your teeth and using mouthwash afterwards.  It makes food seem much more unappetizing...at least long enough to get you to sleep!

if your town has a library walk there, take your time browse around and find a book that really interests you...if your like me you can spend a good hour our more doing this plus you get a little exercise by walking there and back.

or if your town doesn't have a library, try doing some research on the internet, on something you may have wondered about...here's some questions to get you started

why is the sky blue?

how do bumblebees fly?

what causes aurora bourealis?

who's the tallest/shortest man/woman in the world?

or anything that interests you...wikipedia.com has a lot of odd/interesting topics...

Whenever I start to wonder into the kitchen I try to start doing dishes, wiping counters, emptying the trash... Usually its pretty dirty in my apartment so cleaning gross stuff kinda makes me lose my appetite.. and it makes my roommates happy. ;)
