InstructionsThings Youll Need: Just a little will power
1.RECOGNIZE IT BEFORE ACTING - When I feel the urge to eat a snack or meal, I ask myself where this urge is coming from.
Good questions to Ive asked myself to stop overeating:
Am I busy when the urge came on?
Do I feel as though I could eat a lot or a little?
What am I hungry for?
All of these small questions help me evaluate my desire for food, to see if it is genuine hunger or my mind playing a trick on me. Self-awareness is the most important thing.

2.DO SOMETHING ELSE - After Ive concluded that I want to eat purely because I am bored, I DO SOMETHING, and that helps me be productive too ;).

I dont need to list daily activities you can do to live your life instead of eat it!
3. WHEN GIVING IN, GIVE IN MINIMALLY - Complete self-denial should never be what were after, because that only spawns self resentment and ultimate failure. If you really want a snack after sincerely trying to cure your boredom, eat one! But this is the pivotal moment to exercise your moderation skills. Heres why...
When youre eating and not hungry, youre more likely to overeat. This is because your stomach is already stretched and ready for more food, plus, and perhaps more importantly, your MENTAL HUNGER comes with NO biological indicators to make you feel full. So if its mental hunger youre feeding, you could eat forever. Yikes.
