I think the key to feeling full is making sure you eat a protein of some kind during every meal and snack. The veggies and hummus suggestion is great. I go for peanut butter, lean meats, eggs, nuts. Just having some fruit or veggies definitely doesn't cut it lol. Research some recipes that include healthy proteins that you enjoy.
If you're starving all the time, your body might be in starvation mode. That's bad as your body starts to store fat to compensate when you eat again.
Incorporating a workout routine is super important too. Even just 10 or 15min a day is better than nothing. I'm really lazy about exercise and it's hard to me to keep at it, but I'm trying my best. I have a bunch of workout dvds that I cycle through to keep it from getting boring. It feels sooo great after, it's worth it
edit to add: another thing I forgot to mention regarding overeating and portion control. This might sound stupid, but eating slower makes you eat less. I've always been a really fast eater and often I'd eat way too much. Once I consciously decided to eat slow, taking time to chew, I found I needed less food to feel full because my mind had a chance to process that I've had enough.
