Drink water when you feel hungry and because it rushes through if you are hungry 30 minutes later have PROTEIN (cheese sticks, protein bar, lean lunch meat, nuts, edamame...whatever). Journal not only what you eat, but the times, and what you are feeling when you eat - you may even want to rate your hunger on a scale of 1-5 at the time you eat. Watch the pattern for a few months. Its 5 pounds. Thank God its not more - you can do this. Do also a search on "Pouch Rules for Dummies" (no intention meant - it just the title) to take you back to the basics and start from there
