Kill the food. Throw it in the bin and then drown it in vinegar or salt.

Trust me on the second part. I once ate garbage pastries because I was totally rationalising that they were in a packet and my bin only had the pastries and some vegetable peels and an empty cheese wrapper in it.

Exercise. Sounds awful but when I feel like snacking from boredom I work out. Keeps me busy and suppressed the appetite! Even just going for a walk helps, but usually I just throw on workout clothes and a workout video and keep busy with that! Works every time

I stop myself from nibbling at night time by brushing my teeth. Everything taste awful after you brush your teeth!!
Keeping a food diary has made me more accountable for what I eat, so I try and behave myself.
As someone else said, exercise!

I boredom snack in the afternoons at work and at the weekends so I plan healthy snacks and don't take my wallet to work and I plan to do stuff at the weekend so i don't get bored.
bikerides, shopping, walks, visit friends new hobby etc.

I'm never home in the evenings ( teaching hulahooping, learning poledancing, teaching science) so I don't generally snack then
but i do find if i store food in easy reach ( i on my desk at work or in my bedroom / by the couch it's more likely to get eaten. if you have to have something measure (yes measure /weigh you will overestimate by eye) 1 portion then seal the packet well ( to make it a effort to open it)

i.e i make flapjack and freeze ( individualy) it so i i have to defrost it before i have it - anything to stop mindless eating!

good luck

If you want to get to your goal bad enough, that will do it. If not, Chug water, excercise, drink coffe or green tea, have breakfast a little later in the morning, have more smaller meals throughout the day, Try IF, have more Protein, Chew gum, or simply have some willpower! I love eating , so i just eat foods that are filling and try to keep myself distracted till my next meal!
