1) Set "rules" on unhealthy foods. For example, suppose you LOVE ice cream and you know that you should be cutting back on the amount you eat. A "rule" you could set is that you can eat a serving of ice cream once a month. Always start small and once you master the first "rule", you can set it for longer periods of time.
2) Keep temptations out of sight as much as you can. What I do is when I buy muffins, cookies from the grocery store bakery, peanut butter cups or chocolate bars, I always put them in the freezer. Not only does it keep them fresh, it keeps them out of my line of sight so I'm not tempted to eat them. For sweets in my pantry, I try to put them near the back of the pantry so they aren't immediately in my line of sight.
3) PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. It's hard. As I'm typing this up, I'm fighting the temptation to go into my pantry and snack on some Chips Ahoy cookies. Will you give into temptation sometimes? Yes. But just remember that everyone slips up. No one is born with perfect willpower and self-control. And also remember that one slip up won't make you magically gain all the weight you lost back in one day.
