Are there any ways to curb your appetite, or stop the cravings? I don't have a lot of will power either. I don't have a problem with working out, it's my eating habits. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What you have to do is make your weight loss part of just having a healthier lifestyle.
Diet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed.
The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.
There will be 5 basic elements you need to adjust to have a healthy lifestyle.
They are:
1. Your Eating
2. Your Water Intake
3. Maintaining a balance of cardio and resistance exercise
4. Smart supplementation
5. Sleeping the best amount of time

Try cutting out the flour and sugar. Eating foods containing sugar fuel the hunger craving. Foods that contain processed flour quickly turn into sugar in the stomach.
Eat foods that are high in fiber. That will give you a sensation of fullness and curb your hunger pangs. High fiber foods include beans, vegetables and fruits. Buy whole grain cereals that are especially high in fiber.
Olive oil is another ingredient you can add to your food that curbs hunger.

It sounds like you need an accountability partner to help out with your eating habits. Have a friend, family member or coworker join you on your weight loss journey. When you have someone to answer to regarding your weight loss (or lack thereof), it makes it easier to stick to your guns, and more rewarding when you have someone to share your victories.

Drink lots of water.
Try adding ice, lemons, spring of mint, anything to make it more interesting. (well - not sugary)
Chew sugar free gum.
But water water water. Carry bottles or large mugs with you.
If you're looking to fill that 'hand to mouth' problem, a glass of water helps. It also gives your stomach a feeling that it's been fed.

Drink an 8 oz glass of water before any meal, so you won't be as hungry. And eat until your are comfortable, not stuffed. Good Luck.
