    Try chewing gum! I have the same issue and sometimes if I just chew a piece of gum it helps keep my mouth busy so I don't think so much about eating. Don't always result to chewing gum though! But it does help :)

    Don't overlook water intake -- There' are quite a few papers on how 'thirsty' is often mistaken for 'hungry'. Give it a go; who knows?

    I drink hot tea. It helps a lot. It takes awhile to drink and with a little sweetener and a splash of milk it has minimal calories while being sweet and yummy. Coffee is a good one too when starting out. Eating things like carrots and stuff that's raw that takes a while to eat and the you get a lot of for minimal calories is smart. AND Smart Pop popcorn. It's a struggle but once you've got a schedule, it gets easier I think.

    Do something else. I have the same problem and if I grab some water & do something else, I find it usually passes. Sometimes I exercise, sometimes I read...just do something esle even for a little while. If it doesn't work, then I'm really hungry and I pick a snack.

    Do you have hobbies? It's really good to have something to do that keeps your hands and mind busy. Some examples: sewing, drawing, coloring, knitting, crocheting, gardening. Or you can go for a walk or do other exercise.
