@@JerseyJules - Well the cool thing about WLS is it is more than Portion Control. It will help reset your hunger signals and changes some critical hormonal balances.

As far as the other issues dealing with food, may I suggest this book, which I worked through during my research...

I actually eat pretty decent believe it or not. Im not a big fried food or greasy food eater. I eat fast food on occasion less than one meal per week usually. I love lean meats and chicken salads.
My issue is I over indulge with portion sizes as a result of never learning proper portion sizes as a child. I have been overweight all my life. 248lbs in 8th grade and wound up senior year in HS getting down to 218 the lightest by eating good and working out. I aintianed about 225-240 till I was about 25 but always just slightly over ate portions. I went through 2 police academies in 1998 and 1999 and didnt lose a single pound went in at 250 came out at 250 despite all the exercise. I know my diet was poor, with larger portions and snacking late at night.
I do like sweets also but rather eat a nice steak over a doughnut, I just often make poor choices and too much of it. An example of a poor decision would be I would eat say 3 egg whites and toast for Breakfast at 9am then by 11 am would get a bacon egg and cheese and 2 doughnuts at Dunkin Doughnuts, then eat lunch at 3 or 4 then dinner at 6 or 7 then go to the gym and eat again late at night like 2 more times after dinner...
I know if I can get to a decent weight i would be 100% able to maintain it for life, its just getting there is the issue, my body will just not let me right now.
