Drink more liquids.
Try replacing unhealthy snacks with healthier ones. Eg. Nuts/seeds instead of chips, fruit instead of candy. hummus + veggies, homemade veggie chips/baked veggie "fries" (avoid starchy veggies)
Dont go to the store/order when youre hungry. Its easier to control what you buy than it is to say no to the unhealthy snacks in the cupboard that you already bought. i.e put a barrier between yourself and unhealthy snacks.
Make a hobby out of finding creative ways to make that comfort food healthier. eg. Sneak veggies into things, replace less healthy ingredients with healthier ones. eg. Replace butter with olive oil, replace beef with turkey, switch to lite salt (slowly) instead of table salt etc.
