Boredom Eating

I think I've found the root of my problem.
Boredom eating.
I'm not hungry, not at all, I'm actually full! And I have nothing to do, and what do I think?
"Hey, I'm going to go get a snack!"

ARGH.
Usually, when I am bored and feel like snacking, I grab my cello and play for awhile. It's great because I get in practice time, and I don't eat.
But it's late, everybody is asleep, and I can't go out of the house or anything of the sort.
If I play my cello, my parents will FLIP, because they both have to get up at 5 in the morning.

How do you get rid of your boredom eating? I just want to snack right now- and I have no calories left.
(No exercise machines available either).

:grumble:

    New solution that does not involve giving up your boredom food: Boredom cooking! It's the best! I've started a healthy recipe book, like a scrap book but you paste recipes in it and I like to add helpful tips in the sidelines for myself about how to improve the recipe. You can also be a big dork like me and take pictures of the dish to paste next to the pictures from the magazine or article you got it from. This takes up ample time, is very rewarding and relaxing, and you get to keep food as entertainment!
