How do you try to watch what you eat without being so hungry?
I made myself a nice chef salad for lunch and still feel like I ate nothing. Now I'm eating a handful of crackers.

Are you eating lo carb or no carb? If not, put that salad in a whole wheat pita. That might help. Lettuce shrinks in your stomache, it must, because I get the same way when I eat it for lunch. but now I try to eat a piece of fruit and that helps. Bananas are good for filling you up. Maybe try that. Let me know how it goes!

You may be missing a bit of fat (to prevent those hunger signals). Next time you have a salad, perhaps add a bit of cheese or avocado or chicken...

I ate a big salad with lettuce,tomatoes,cucumbers,ham & cheese with oil and vinegar dressing. I'm not cutting out carbs. I'm just trying to eat a little better but I'm sooooo hungry. I ate a banana for a mid morning snack.

What about throwing some chicken on the salad or some tuna?

My salad had pieces of ham and cheese. I guess it wasn't enough.

eat every 2-3 hrs. Have almonds, or nuts for a snack between meals. If you are not a little hungry in 2-3 hours, then you ate too much for lunch. So keep healthy high protein snacks handy for your afternoon snack.

Don't feel bad about eating healthy snacks! Like snowboard girl said it's okay to eat every few hours. Keep something that doesn't make you feel like you are cheating in your lunch bag.
