I've recently discovered whole grain pasta....it's not so bad :) It seems to fill me up faster than regular pasta.
Eating on smaller plates does help. Also, eating healthy snacks throughout the day helps you to not overeat at major meals. I've read that you're supposed to eat something every four hours. I like fresh fruit (apples are good, and have fiber), veggies with fat free dip, or light yogurt for snacks. Also, water helps you feel full.
