Easy things first:
Cut out the junk foods and soda. Start SLOWLY cutting back on your portion sizes. If you do it all at once you'll just get too hungry and quit. Walk a lot - we're talking lifestyle change here. When you park your car somewhere, park it as FAR as possible from your destination, and walk there. Use the stairs. Go to the farthest bathroom when you're at work. This sort of thing. WEIGH YOURSELF WEEKLY (at the same tiime of the day - right after you wake up?) and keep track of the total. Put this total somewhere you can see it every day, as motivation.
Now comes some tougher stuff - exercise. If you want to see results of your weight loss before you become unmotivated, this will help a LOT. I assume you spend a decent amount of time at your computer - this is not a terrible thing, so long as you bust it up with some physical activity. Here's an example of what I do when I'm gaming sometimes: Every time I come to a level load, end a turn, or come to some temporary stopping point, I get up from the computer and do a quick exercise (10 pushups, 10 knee bends, 20 situps, or similar - get creative). If you find you can't remember to do these things, set a 10 minute repeating timer. Every time it goes off, do an exercise. This will turn your computer time into something a bit healthier, but keeps the workout light enough that you can do it in street clothes.
As for your food choices above, that seems like an aweful lot of dairy to me, but I'm no dietician. The best thing to do is to count calories, at least for starters, because it's easy to so and most people routinely consume more calories than they need to.
Oh, and if you find yourself craving sweets, try this: get a bag of grapes (red or white, your preference) and throw them in the freezer. When you crave something sweet, try a frozen grape.
