How do I stop emotional eating?

I eat when I am bored, I eat when I am tired, I eat when I am frustrated. I am constantly eating for reasons other than hunger. How do I stop? It's like it just slips under my radar and next thing I know, I have polished off a whole pie, or cookies or bag of potato chips.

Evening is the worst! I know it's mostly habit. Eating in front of the tv.

I really need to switch to herbal tea or something.

Does anyone use sweeteners and if so,, have you had any side effects from them? Opinions are welcome as well.

I started using sweeteners in the past year and not sure how good they are for us. What kind is the best and which are the worse? I use Stevia or Trivia.
