HAHA I have the same problem and WISH I had a solution.
These things help me
Don't buy food that can be eaten easily. If it takes a lot of preparation then I'm likely not to go to the effort of preparing it.
Eat on smaller dishes. I know this sounds stupid but I eat smaller portions if its on a smaller plate.
Only cook as much as you plan to eat. I used to ALWAYS cook a little extra planning on storing it and then end up eating the whole thing.
Use measuring cups. If you allow yourself only - for example - 1/4 or 1/2 cup of grain with your veggies then thats what you'll eat. I used to just put food on the plate but when I measured it I was putting 2-4 cups of food on my plate!!! That is a LOT of food!!
Cut you carbs. Nothing makes you go NUTS like lots of carbs. If I've eaten carbs I feel like I'm pacing past the kitchen!! haha
Good luck
Make sure you only eat one serving and hurry up and put a piece of gum in your mouth when your done. Take some deep deep breaths and think to yourself, "I can overcome this." You always have to catch your thoughts "in the act!!" 
Once you start seeing the weight come off too, you'll start to make heathier choices. When losing weight, sometimes it take practice but YOU CAN WIN!
