It's nice to see the same thought elsewhere! I was just hearing today that it’s better to drink hot liquids than cold because it creates the sensation of being full sooner.

I was in such a habit of snacking while watching tv that I instantly crave yummy/tasty food when I go into the tv room. I've started making myself mugs of herbal tea or *lightly* sweetened black/flavored tea and it helps satisfy my need for the yummy, without ingesting tons of calories. And since it's hot, you'll be more likely to drink it slowly, so you'll be able to savor it over time, and it often leaves me feeling full. I have finally broken the psychological connection to snacking in that room by using the tea method. I can't do the chewing gum trick since my jaw gets sore really quickly, but I'll ocassionally suck on a piece of low calorie hard candy as a way to occupy my mouth for 30-45 minutes and get a flavor/snacky craving out of the way. It was important for me to find a low calorie vegetable I really like and eat a lot of it. As I am in the process of getting used to eating fewer calories, I find that following the rule of "half of your plate should be fruits and or veggies" allows me to feel full, consume a similar amount of food, and drastically reduce my calories. Finally - and this one is huge for me - don't shy away from eating fat. I feel much more hungry after a fat free meal. If I have a moderate amount of fat in my food I find I am more satisfied after the meal and that feeling lasts much longer.
