The best way to change your eating habits is slowly, over time. (at least for me it is)
Instead of saying "Monday, I am going to switch a healthier diet," instead decide that you are going to replace one meal (or one habit) with a healthier choice.
For example, if you have junk food around the house (like chips), stop buying junk food and replace it with nuts, yogurts, fruits, etc.
Get used to that change (while still eating what you want for your meals). Then, after a couple of weeks (3 weeks at minimum), replace something else. Instead of eating eggs and bacon for breakfast, eat oatmeal or fruit or whatever else healthy. Continue eating what you want for the other meals, and repeat the process until your diet is healthier.
Transition into it is what I am saying. This is a marathon, not a sprint, so you need to pace yourself.
And allow yourself to cheat once in a while. It's ok to have some junk here and there, just don't let it get out of control.
