I always ask when I think I'm hungry if I'm just bored. I know it seems like a silly thing to do but I found often when I'm really bored I just eat more just to do something I think. Not sure if this is objectively true in all cases even for me, but it seems to be helping me lose weight.

For me it works this way: when I think I'm sad/depressed I ask if I'm just hungry. I can easily forget to eat, and this has consequences for my state of mind. I need to reassure myself that I'm not depressed, I just need some nutrients. Then I eat and I find I'm no longer sad.
