I was like that, but then a few months ago I joined weight watchers and LOVED it. I've lost 46 pounds so far and I'm now at a weight I'm comfortable with. One of things that I loved most about about it is that I didn't have to give anything up. I could still eat ice cream and all the sweets I liked but I learned how to deal with portion sizes and not to overdo anything. When you deprive yourself of something you are more likely to binge, kind of like when you are a kid and your parents say you can't have something it just makes you want it more. Really the key to losing weight is just moderation.
