    As well as watching tv, gained less weight when playing on the ipad, laptop etc, as the hands/fingers were busy

    Obviously you are not alone. It is a major problem for me. I just try to really acknowledge when I am eating because of boredom. Also I try to eat at specific time frames(if hungry) . And drinking water in between meals to keep me full. Also usually if my hands & mind are busy I seem to not think about food.
    Breakfast - 830-900
    Green Tea - 10:30ish
    Snack - 11/1130
    Lunch - 1/130
    Snack - 3/4
    Dinner - 7/8

    Find a hobby or drink some water instead.

    It's been so long since I was bored I honestly don't remember. Find something to do so you aren't bored and this problem will be solved.
