    There are lots of stretches you can do at your desk, just search online. Also chew gum, the stronger the flavour the better.

    walk around your desk, get rid of the junk food then you cannot eat it

    The problem is that I work in an open floor, no office, and there is junk food every where. Finance people have the biggest sweet tooth! And then there is all the free food that gets sent up here. *sigh*
    I got candy for the guys on my team, and I have to ration it out or it's all gone in a day or two. And we're talking a good size bowl. *sigh* IT has a serious sweet tooth issue too, believe me. I try and drink 32oz of tea (2 16oz glasses) before lunch and I have a snack with a little fat in it (currently cheese and celery for additional time eating). I usually try and get some good protein and fats in at lunch and it carries me over. And lots of MFP in my downtime (like now!).

    I'm lazy. I consume Soylent 1.5 (and sometimes a protein shake) and water, throughout the week. On the weekends, I may go out and eat a meal, but consume Soylent as my staple. While the smells of food attract me, it hasn't been that bad. Bored eating, I think, accounted for a lot of calories that I've now snuffed out.

    tea is an awesome suggestion - and it really does help.

    are you allowed to do whatever you want on the internet? Can you go on duolingo and learn a new language? That would certainly use up time and stimulate the brain (i.e. reduce boredom)

    I've never heard of duolingo, but I'll go check it out! And thank you for the suggestion, I've been wanting a way to brush up on my Spanish.
