I AM ALWAYS BORED. My job is a huge factor in my weight problem. I sit all day doing the same thing for 8 hours a day. Because I am so bored I tend to snack, and what do I snack on? Crap from the veding machine. I've been good at following the point system, but I've dipped into my flex points quite a bit and I could easily use them the up before the week is done.
Now, short of quitting my job, what can I do to keep myself from snacking frequently when I am bored at work (which is constantly)?

I drink water. I always keep a bottle of water at my desk and if I feel the need to snack I drink a bunch of water because it fills my tummy enough to take away the craving. I also chew gum. I find that when I am bored all I need is the physical chewing motion to make me feel full.
