    Brush your teeth every time you want to eat out of boredom. Its something to do, there's no downside, and for me its both a physical and psychological barrier to eating. Physical, because it makes many of the binge foods taste bad (chocolate and tooth paste? No Thanks.), and psychological because you don't want to "dirty" up your "just cleaned" teeth.

    You can crochet to keep the hands busy. That's what I do when I want to just relax at the end of the day. And a bonus is you can make stuff to donate like baby blankets or hats/booties for local hospitals.

    drink water. squirt some mio or other water enhancer into it to give it some flavor without the calories. i am at a desk all day surrounded by snacks and unhealthy foods in the cafeteria so it takes a lot of will power! i know the water enhancers are probably loaded with fake sugars and other chemicals but you get a little flavor and the water can fill you up if you're not truly hungry.

    When it hits, get up and move.
    Yep. That's the only thing that works for me!

    Oh man boredom eating is my downfall; I just go on autopilot and stare into the fridge or pantry. Whenever I get the urge I have a glass of water or a cup of tea or some fruit (grapes work great for me) and that usually helps.
