The first trick is to not have that thing in your fridge, and I know as much as anyone how hard that trick can be to pull off (one helpful part is to go to the store after you eat). In fact, the only quick meal/snack I tend to have on hand is oatmeal (or occasionally yogurt).

I regularly eat 10-12 hours after I wake up, and rarely feel hungry before I hit the 10 hour mark, unless I make a habit of eating during that time period. If I decide to follow a whim to eat breakfast on two or three consecutive weekdays, I will be hungry at breakfast time on the following day, regardless of what I ate the day before, or when I last ate. The worst part, though, is that it sometimes takes longer for that hunger to stop coming at breakfast time every day than it does to get it to start coming in the first place.

Something else that helps, for me, is to get at least some amount of exercise first thing in the morning. I take a short (~1.5 mile) bike ride over a fairly mild route (mostly flat or downhill) on most mornings (when it's not raining). In my unscientific observation, it kick-starts my metabolism, which it needs, since I'm definitely not getting exercise at work. After that, I primarily have to keep my mind busy, as boredom typically leads to eating just to do something.
