Or, if I'm not sure if I'm still hungry or just craving, I'll tell myself that if I still want whatever it is in twenty minutes, I'll have it. Usually I've forgotten by then.
Light exercise can really help with cravings. Not only does it distract you, but it can also quell your appetite (although for some people, it does the opposite, so beware). Even playing an adrenaline-pumping computer game, or getting involved in reading or homework or anything else can distract you from eating.
I feel your pain, I really do. I've had MAJOR issues with cravings and weight gain because of it. I think to a certain degree it will always be a struggle, but if you set your mind to it, and have plans in mind, more often than not, you'll beat the cravings.
