    I was so bored today.. When I got up I was aiming for the kitchen but instead steered the opposite direction. I called my dog and shouted "want to go for a walk?!" couldn't get his hopes high and disappoint him..so I grabbed the leash and off we went

    Hot tea, or I go out for a walk. If it's been 2-3 hours since my last meal, then I probably *am* really hungry, so I have a light snack. Like right now. Off to the fridge I go...

    Air-popped popcorn or baby carrots. Not many calories, good fiber to keep you moving and I watch a movie with it.

    I have this problem and it SUCKS.
    I literally obsess in my mind over food I want to eat. So the only thing I can do is drink water. Lots of water- like I can drink 4 L easy. Then I come on this site to check the forums, or I go clean the house, or email/chat with friends. I may get some hand weights to keep near the couch to do arm exercises while watching TV.
    It's really really hard! All of the suggestions you have gotten thus far are fantastic- this is just what I do to keep the snack monster away! Good luck :)

    Drink 3 cups of water fast, then sip another 3. You won't be hungry, you'll be full. Then later, you'll get extra exercise walking to the bathroom.

    One of the main things I do is brush my teeth. That way most foods taste bad. Chew gum. Clean up the house, go for a walk, do something that is away from food :)

    I guess I'm going to have to find something to do to keep my hands busy....
    I crochet and sew and write now, so I guess I'll have to keep it up without snacking.

    Knit while watching a DVD! Or I take my laptop into the bathroom so I can watch something on iPlayer while I bathe (laptop sits on toilet, well away from any water!), or go to bed and watch Buffy DVDs! Or play on my 360! I have to say though, that by the time I've finished work and had dinner, I'm usually too tired to be bored!

    I rarely eat dinner before 9pm, so never get food cravings/hunger in the evenings - perhaps having dinner a little later might help you?

    I did that in the old days. Now I spend time on the computer instead.
