Excellent points.

For the extra-lazy, I also suggest having a lot of raw ready-to-eat stuff around. For me, it's carrots, apples, almonds, snap peas, and string beans.

It really helped me to see the difference between actual hunger and things like boredom or a desire for distraction from whatever negative emotions I was experiencing. If I got to the fridge but don't want any of those things, it's almost always a sign I'm there for something other than hunger.
