But I am done with thinking that I must deny myself any type of food forever (or even for a while).

I really think that kind of says it all
Nothing has to be given up forever, but in any healthy eating plan there is foods you just have to give up for awhile in order to see results.
As others have said, you don't have a lot to lose. So maybe a good exercise plan would be your best bet along with a good food choices in controlled servings.
As for never having foods again, no thats not how it works, my typical week includes, all fruit, brown rice, potatoes (3-4 times a week), any veggie, Whole grain bread 2 slices a day, Oatmeal is my main breakfast 5 times a week.
And even the odd dessert If I really want it, but it has to be pretty special
So reading throught the whole plan you'll see that many foods are added back in, so it's not forever.
I wish you luck, I've been there done that, thinking that I ate super healthy, all fresh foods, low fat,very little junk at all, but I continued to grow, year after year.
I think I got to the point I had to really shake up by system and Low carb'n did that.
