I know how you feel and it's something I'm still fighting to get over. One thing that definitely helps is to get yourself into a schedule. Mine changes day to day depending on what classes I have, but mine general look like breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, snack; or breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. I've always been really bad for gorging myself before bed, so having something like an apple with some peanut butter (which is really good, by the way!) helps me overcome that. Because of this my routine must include a snack before bed.
Water, lots and lots of water, whenever you feel hungry when you feel you shouldn't helps a lot. And chewing gum, in the same context. Don't want to get too dependent on the gum though; water is much healthier for sure!
I also find that once you start eating less your stomach just gets used to it, especially if you've consistently been eating too much it shrinks after awhile.
Good luck!
