    Get a giant glass of water and start drinking! AND find something to do, you sound bored!!

    Drink a couple of glasses of water, that hungry feeling will likely go away. If not, try a piece of low cal gum and find something to keep your mind busy.

    I agree with ChristinaRamos. You sound bored! Whenever I feel like eating for the sake of eating, it's usually because I'm bored. Now, if it's a craving... Well, that's a whole other story.

    Anyways... Occupy yourself! I cleaned the house for three hours yesterday to keep myself from eating. I didn't even think about food once! I turned on the radio and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. And when I was done cleaning? I did an exercise video. Keep yourself busy! Go for a walk, watch a movie, stay on MFP and chat it up, play a card game, do an exercise video, read a book, watch tv (better yet, watch tv while jogging in place and doing jumping jacks during commercial breaks).

    Yesterday was a rough day for me because I didn't properly space out my meals and snacks and I ended up VERY hungry and that resulted in binge thoughts and feelings. "I'm just going to eat, I'm so hungry." It's hard to pull through it, but I was able to. I had a bottle of water and just pushed through until dinner was ready. You can do it!
