Some strategies I've found (buffets are my weakness):
1. Eat a high fiber snack before you go
2. Make sure you have plenty of water (I even bring my own!)
3. Use the small salad plates or a bowl instead of the large dinner plates.
4. Have only one layer of food - DON'T put food on top of food. Tell yourself, you can always go back for more.
5. Try to eat only one kind of thing at a time. That way, you can focus on the taste. You can always go get another kind of thing later. All the getting up and down slows you down. For example, only allow yourself one desert at a time.
6. Put a little bit of the nasty stuff on a bed of salad greens - it'll feel like you're eating more.
