Not a bloody clue, but I'm the same! When I am riding or doing lots of other exercise I get by on little food. When I am sitting about I eat loads.

Fancy a cake? In fact d'ya fancy a kebab?

It's boredom. Get a new bike.

I think the anwer to both posts is yes. ta.

Could well be boredom caused by restlessness. It's understandable after having spent days completely occupied. I prescribe a course of day rides to local sights/sites.

..eating ants...oops


...I think it is boredom. I no longer have a destination, the time I filled riding every minute of each day is filled with the usual bleak void that is home right now...at least I am reaching for the healthy food and not the ben & Jerries!

Yep the UK does suck big time: I recall when on the plane back from Europe thinking I'm back to the rat like tendencies of the UK...after spending some time away.

I think I worked it out...it's about comfort zones. I took myself out of my comfort zone; that removal of the safty net created a 'buzz', I then returned to the comfort zone I left to find it isn't so comfortable, in fact I feel more comfortable outside my comfort zone...well that's my theory anyway

Comfort zone!? What's that? :?:

 

[Bigtallfatbloke]

It's a warm dry place with a TV, fridge full of beer and chocolate, warm water on tap and a car on the drive. It's also BORING.

You seem to eat more if you're fatigued / dehydrated. Which is probably why you always seem to eat loads the day after a big ride.
