    I was having the same problem, until I left all my money and CC at home. I pack my lunch and make sure I make healthy choice.
    for midmorning snack I usually have an Apple or Kiwi with string cheese or yogurt. and mid afternoon snack is carrots, celery, cucumbers with hummus.

    I have this problem every day! Especially since i quit smoking about 6 months ago and i work in a restaurant, its so hard NOT to munch on something all the time.
    I started bringing chewing gum or unsalted mixed nuts and drink lots of water.
    And I've recently started telling myself "if i eat that, im gunna end up a short, fat old mexican lady like my mother!" :laugh: lol seems to be working well so far.

    Thanks everyone!

    Good ideas! My office knows I'm not snacking on sweet things now and I think the no money thing is good. I do have healthy snacks but sometimes it's soo appealing to nip to the shop but I won't be doing that now!

    Take on new projects, ask your boss if there's anything else you can do.. You shouldn't be bored at work, honestly. The only time I think about food at work is on my lunch break.. I spend the rest of my day, you know, working.

    Sorry, but being busy doesn't mean you're not bored. I have a boring job and no matter how busy I am I'm still bored. However, I'm very grateful for my job.

    What I do is bring everything I'm going to allow myself to eat in a work day and lots of water. I usually streatch my food out over the day.
