self-control can only get you so far sometimes... sometimes you think, okay, i'm gonna go get 2 cookies, and next thing you know, you've eaten the bag without even realizing it. self control really can only keep you from the food (for some people), but once you've got it in front of you you just stop realizing it.
back to the initial post, try chewing gum. it keeps your mouth going. drink lots of water, and if you can, maybe root beer (the carbonation can make you feel full).
try to do things that truely engage your mind. if you're really interested in what you're doing, you're less likely to wander to food. do you have ADD? i got diagnosed and started taking stuff for it, and found that once i was able to focus better, i stopped eating between meals almost completely, and when i did, i had much better control over it.
i've always wanted to try to find out of if there's a correlation between having non-hyperactive ADD and being overweight. anyone read anything about that?
