    Do something else...if bored find an activity you enjoy, if lonely go for a walk with a friend or make a phone call to them, if angry a boxing class, if stressed yoga or a soak in the bath etc etc.

    I am bad for this. Though I try to concentrate on the starving feeling and try to find comfort in knowing that the fat is burning away

    Decide that you'll just eat at meals, not use food to ease emotions, and find other outlets for emotions.

    Replace the comfort food with veggies
