Next time you're hungry, think of it as a weight loss opportunity. This won't make the hunger go away but it does help. I know because I'm also trying to bust the podge. 
You have to be hungry all day every day for a week just to lose a pound. If you're seriously hungry you could lose two pounds. The down side is that you can easily put on a pound in a day.
Here are a few more tips:
1) Have plenty of very low calorie stuff in the fridge. Carrots, cauliflower, radishes, melon, cucumber and tomatoes are all good. Maybe you can think of a few more that you fancy.
2) Conversely, don't have high calorie stuff easily available. This is particularly true of anything that's been opened and looks like it 'needs using up'.
3) If you know roughly when you're likely to feel hungry, be somewhere where there isn't any food.
4) If you get hungry and food is beckoning, distract yourself with something even more interesting - like sex. (Failing this, get out of the house.)
5) Eat less than you really want then wait an hour. It takes time for food to make its way through your digestive system.
6) Weigh yourself once a week - daily weighings fluctuate too much - always at the same time of day and on the same scales.
7) Don't be too shocked if, despite having been hungry all week, your weight has gone up. As fat cells empty they can fill up with water and this weighs more than the original fat. Just keep going until they give up and die.
A final hint: A doctor once told me that you should always wake up hungry in the morning. If you aren't hungry for your breakfast you didn't lose any weight yesterday.
