If you find yourself having a hard time resisting the siren call of the kitchen or a second trip through the High Plains cafeteria line when you know you are not hungry, try using a delay/distraction technique. If you get the urge to nibble when you know you are not hungry, wait 10 minutes. Drink water, pick up a magazine, check-email. It's not easy at first, but the idea is to drive a wedge between your emotional feeling and its habitual response. More times than not, after that 10 minutes, you won't even want that extra serving of french fries.
