Here's my simple "think twice / slow & easy" diet -

It's not so much about sticking to a rigid diet, more just thinking a bit more carefully about what you're craving, and what you should probably eat instead, but without going health-kick crazy. Want versus need, with a bit of leeway allowed every now and then.
I'm up to 13.5kg/30lb lost now.
I write my weight on the whiteboard each time I reach a new "low", which is a good way to keep me motivated. Not that I really need to fight with myself, it doesn't take much to convince myself to eat something a little healthier now.
When the weather was warmer I was regularly going for hour-long walks. The first 10 minutes sucks, it's where I'm thinking I can't be bothered and I'll just turn around, but after that it's cool. As well as being beneficial exercise it's also a good chance to have some thinking time; no TV, computer, phone, wife, kids, life etc to distract you... I've come up with some pretty good ideas and goals while plodding along on my walks, and it's also a good time to nut out any personal issues.
