When I can't shake that desire for a snack though but I don't have the calories I will drink a nice herbal tea.1

If I know I am really not hungry but just eating out of boredom hot herbal tea helps I love holding the warm mug kind of a comfort thing. But sometimes I just go to the bathroom look in the mirror and give myself a "talking to". I tell myself am I really hungry? No then don't go in there and open that pantry or fridge it won't solve anything2

I know it's hard I've been there before I was a binge eater when I was bored or home alone not doing anything I would eat. And what helped me a lot was to drink water or tea. Chew gum. Or a meal replacement shake Or eat fruit. That kinda kept me away from the sweets. And it can be tough at times but if you want to lose weight or get away from that habit of eating when bored. Find a little hobbie to do or go for a walk just to kinda get distracted from the food. Best of luck1

Good article above
You may be an impulsive or compulsive over eater or both. Its helpful to understand which type you are.
One of the best ways to combat that is to set a time limit on your eating.
Say 9:00 a until 4 pm Then you know that you cant eat outside of that time window
You can have water or brewed tea or something like propel.
Also consider intermittent fasting. There are many health benefits and can really help with weight loss.
In addition there are different types of fasting like 5:2 or 16:8 which is 16 hours of fasting 8 hours
eating.
Good luck
