Maleficent, a senior member and moderator here has a true passion for cooking/baking. She's also lost 200 lbs.
It's all about controlling your value system. Yea, you love to cook. But that doesn't mean you have to over-eat the food your prepare. But consciously you'll never transition away from over-eating unless you fill that void with another value... that value being the positive emotions you can associate to the Whys. The whys of why you want to get healthy and lose weight.
I'd start by making a list of the pleasures you'll have by reaching your goals. On the other side of the paper, make a list of the pains you'll have by NOT reaching your goals.
Read, walk, exercise, repeat.

You have good people on your side, Biz. Getting a grip on portion-size, and making healthy food choices can take years of practice, AND slip away from you temporarily. The important thing is to start viewing food as absolute NOURISHMENT and the building blocks for a healthy body, mind, and dare I say, soul. And I'm not talking about Soul Food!!! Although I highly recommend eating collard greens every day Just don't cook the hell out of them
