One of my biggest problems is that I am an emotional eater. I eat when I'm sad, when I'm happy, and especially when I am bored.
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 would suggest working out before work... I think working out in the morning makes you want to eat in a healthy manner, and when you do decide to splurge on something, you will eat less of it, b/c you do not want to lose the "just worked-out" feeling. It sounds stupid, but it is true. Also, you could walk to and from work. saves gas and money. How far?
