Keep some low calorie snacks on hand to satisfy the munchies and make sure that you eat the three main meals every day. Take up a hobby or find something that can keep you busy to keep your mind off of food.

The best way to get it under control is to keep yourself busy/preoccupied. Pick up an extra hobby, tackle some chores you've been putting off, dive into some great books or magazines...stuff like that.
Another great tactic is to give in to your thoughts of food by planning your meals for the week and collect new recipes. But bottomline, don't deprive yourself of food if you're thinking about it all the time. Snack on small portions of food throughout the day, and you'll find that not only are you less hungry during meal times, but it actually revs up your metabolism, and you may actually lose a lot of weight this way. Try snacking on good stuff like fresh fruit, protein (peanut butter on whole wheat crackers, cheese with crackers or fruit etc), yogurt, smoothies, baked tortilla chips with bean dip, whole wheat pita pockets with tuna, trail mix, cereal, and dried fruits etc. Just remember to eat small portions, just enough to feel 'satisfied'.
HTH!

The worst thing you can do is starve yourself or deprive yourself of the food you crave. The best thing you can do is appease your appetite in some way- if you're craving ice cream, buy some frozen yogurt. Cut your portions in half. Do something physical after you eat so you don't feel guilty for eating. Eating is a necessary part of life, and it's silly to waste your time fretting over it. We all fall prey to it, but if you keep yourself down by depriving yourself of food, you'll just want it more. Buy that big pretzel at the mall and savor every bite. Then jog for 15 minutes and rid yourself of the guilt.

Go to a doctor
Have him/her check you out
I have a teacher who has diabeties
he figured out he was an over compulsive eater
which means you think and eat about food all the time but he's better now

Think about more important things, watch TV, get a hobby, etc. Stock your house up with healthy food so if you must eat, you'll eat something that's good for you.

Try really to stop thinking, it is called self control, and will power, once you have your mind set just control it, and "Don't Think About Food"

Get a job in a restaurant might as well make some money and get some exercise at the same time.

it okay to think but dont act on it or if you do go for some water replace water for food or a fruit that would help

Do something more productive like reading, helping others, or make a business out of that.
