A couple of things that have helped me with the food part:
1. I get those bags of miniature chocolates, so that I have a way to indulge the craving without eating a whole chocolate bar. Obviously, that can backfire, but when it works, it works.
2. Eat small amounts frequently during the day. I used to have six "meals" per day: healthy breakfast, snack (usually a glass of non-fat milk) around 2 1/2 hours later, lunch (often a salad with meat or cheese on it), snack about three hours later (often nuts or something small like that), gym after work, then a big salad for dinner, with a snack later in the evening (popcorn was one frequent snack, but I'm afraid a nice beer was also frequent...) Basically, eating that often kept me from getting so hungry that I'd eat more than I wanted to.
3. If you belong to a gym, check out the guys there after work. Pick out the one that interests you and is usually there when you're there, and ask him if he'd be willing to be a workout partner at the free weights. ;-D Trust me, it's great incentive.
