Try eating foods that are high in fiber as they are naturally low in fat and are filling. Make sure you drink lots of water with it though, otherwise the fiber will make your stomach upset.
When you're hungry, and you know you just want a snack. Do two things...drink a glass of water and then eat a banana. You'll be certain you aren't just thirsty (our bodies trick us like that sometimes) and you'll have eaten a good for you snack.
You can also choose to not have soda. That, alone, might make you lose 5 pounds because soda is just empty calories.
Try to eat lots of small, healthy meals. If you crave sweet, eat some red grapes. If you crave salty, Goldfish crackers and nuts are low in fat. (nuts are high in fat, but its the really good fat)
Good luck! :)

I lost something like 7 lbs just from switching from regular cola to diet cola. It took about a week to get used to the taste, but now I don't notice it at all and it was the easiest mini-diet I ever did.

Well I'm currently doing Jenny Craig and working out four to five times a week. I know you don't need to do this just to shed a few pounds, but what I've learned so far is it's really about portion control. If you maybe leave 1/3 of everything on your plate, you'll lose some weight.
