I've never been much of a snacker, probably because it was very much frowned on by my mother when I was growing up, so what I needed to internalise was just a matter of smaller portion sizes. If you like a full plate you can always fill it up with veg/salad.
The other thing I think is really important if you love food and are trying to lose weight is to make sure you have the best quality, tastiest food you possibly can; a small portion of something absolutely lovely is so much more filling than a massive bowl of slop (if I have a not-very-nice meal I usually end up still wanting another one on top of it, however full I am, because I feel cheated of the enjoyment of food).
