    get sweets with artificial sweetener, very low in calories. drink plenty of water. go for walks/runs/exercise.

    My Dad smoked 40 a day for 30 odd years, and was given 10 years to live unless he gave them up.
    He constantly chewed gum, which keeps the mouth busy, and he went out for long walks, coz he couldn't handle sitting still. Maybe the adrenalin from walking helped, or the change of scenery, who knows. So when you feel like eating, pop some gum in your mouth & some music in your ears & go for a 10-20 min. walk. If you still feel like eating when you come back, then fine, but chances are your mind will be off it (hopefully)

    Good luck

    Between meals - gum and/or green tea. And quit buying sweets and snacky foods, if you have to prepare the food it's not as appealing as a quick snack.
