Dumb question, but do you drink coffee? Black coffee is a great appetite suppressant. For me, the "aha moment" was finding those specific foods which provoke or reduce hunger in me. Black coffee can keep hunger at bay for a LONG time for me, while even a small amount of white bread or processed sugar will turn on all the "feed me and don't stop" signals.
I definitely do think that the best diet is the one you can stick to. I've tried a bunch, but I've learned that the thing that works the best for me is learning how to eat to manage hunger rather than managing calories. Managing calories while being gnawingly hungry is just miserable, as you've attested to.
