Weight: Don't buy the foods you mention and do not keep them in your home. Try to stick to a plant based diet similar to the mediterranean diet and begin an exercise program slowly. Consult with an exercise physiologist who can help you devise both a nutrition and exercise plan and who will help monitoring your progress. Best.

Don't keep around: First of all, don't bring it home and avoid places with temptations for the most part. This can be a slow frustrating process, but what is the alternative? Ask you doctor (or weight loss center) for medications that can help with portion control (appetite suppressent), if you are medically screened. You can change this!
