Agreed - as is sugar. My solution is simple, do not buy them in the first place and then I cannot eat them.
Breads are now always granary or wholegrain, vegetables are always fresh or 'fresh frozen', sausages are the only form of processed meat and they only get eaten once a week. Everything is peeled then cooked
It does not take long to adjust to such foods and once done the weight just drops off by itself. The other trick was smaller plates which trick the eye into believing that you are eating a bigger portion for the same amount of food. That helps too as your expectations adjust as to when you should feel full. A lot of this stuff is in the mind.
