This is going to sound cruel -- and I really don't mean for it to -- but there's nothing that can make you stop besides yourself! When I get munchie -- I always remind myself that it's more important for me to lose weight and look/feel better than that temporary fix.Also -- there is a list of items that says "if you're craving this, eat that" -- I saw the list on pinterest...but I'm sure you could google that list!I'm also doing ww online -- have you looked into the recipes? Keep it interesting -- let yourself munch -- but find low cal items -- or zero point items...and of course fruit and veggies...keep them "in stock" at your home! They have WONDERFUL cupcake brownie's that are only 2 points!!!! They're not as good as the real thing -- but still pretty darn good!!! Eat dark chocolate instead of hershey kisses! Another friend of mine eat york peppermint patties -- you just can't/don't want to eat as many! Don't even purchase the kisses!!!
One of my favorite WW sayings is "If you bite it, write it." It really makes you stop and think about what you're putting in your mouth!
Don't buy Hershey's kisses, is really the best advice. If you don't have unhealthy things in your house to snack on, you won't snack on them.It's okay to do "replacement snacks," like PPs have said, but really you should only do that to wean yourself off of stress eating altogether- it's a long-time, habit-forming thing that you have to do, which is get yourself to a point where you eat when you're hungry, and not for any other reason. I know one thing that worked for me was switching to sugarfree gum as something to do when I got bored or stressed- in college I did a lot of compulsive gum-chewing around exam times, but I didn't stress eat.
Also, if you can, try to never eat in front of a screen (TV or computer) if you can help it- focusing just on your food instead of multitasking typically makes you eat less.
And as for the boredom, find stuff other than food to distract you! Find a project that interests you!
