Picky eater, veggie hater

I'm hoping some of the picky eater, veggie hater people here can help me. My daughter, 14, falls into this category despite all my efforts throughout her life to change her tastes. Despite her very poor diet, she managed to be the thinnest one in the family, although I've warned her that it was bound to catch up with her someday. Well, that day has come, and I get no joy out of saying 'I told you so'. She wants to lose 20 lbs and I'd like her to do it the healthiest way possible, but is it possible to do it when the only vegetables she will eat are cucumbers, carrots,, green beans, and the starchier vegetables like peas and corn. Salad's are out of the question. She will eat a variety of fruits which I've always provided her at meals since she wouldn't eat most vegetables. She doesn't like whole grains and she doesn't like anything mixed together, most of all she's addicted to sugar and white flour. She would happily eat Lucky Charms and/or ramen noodles 6 times a day. Help! She's finally ready to listen to me, but what do I do? My 'bag of tricks' won't work for her.
