    I used to eat when bored, not so much anymore. I just feel the need to chew something crunchy in the evenings, usually after dinner. When I used to eat a lot when bored, I'd ask myself if I was hungry before hand, if not, I didn't eat (it's hard, I know). Or I found something to do or ate something light like raw broccoli. I'm not a big fan of broccoli so it would put me off enough (after a few florets) that I just didn't wanna eat anymore because if I did it'd just be more broccoli. *blech* At the moment I'm using gum, we'll see how that goes.

    Try to eat 5 small meals a day so that u eat when your hungry and not cause of other reasons at first may be tough so drink lots of water or chew gum till the next meal. Also if your bored then exercise and then you can eat more calories....hope this helps

    Yes, I do! I have the problem while watching tv and/or reading. I try to replace those with exercise and that helps with the problem of eating when bored or while in front of the tv or reading.

    I always want to snack while I'm chilling out on the couch and I'm on holidays atm so I spend most nights fighting my cravings. It doesn't help one of my trigger foods is chips and there are always chips in the house I'm living in!! :)

    I've taken up playing the guitar. Means if I'm just sat in the house, I've got something to keep me entertained and keep my fingers busy. I soon find I've made it through the night without raiding the fridge!

    I could really use some help with the boredom eating. I don't have much going on in my life right now and sometimes I tell myself I have nothing to do but eat. Any other tips on how to deal with this?
