* Keep a stack of almonds or cashew nuts next to your desk. That way it'll always be there when you get even a little hungry. This way you can stave off getting really really hungry which is usually the main problem in eating bad.
* Eat many meals with smaller portions. How I started doing this was to just eat half of whatever sandwhich, burrito I had bought and eat the rest after 3 hours. This is a good way to start getting into the habit of eating 6 small meals instead of 3 big ones.
* Start cutting down on processed food. Stick to meat, veggies and fruit. You dont need to be strict about it - just keep decreasing how much processed food is in every meal.
* Stop drinking anything other than plain soda, water, near 0 calorie drinks. The easiest way to do this is to get flavored seltzer water. 0 calories but still more "fun" to drink than water.
This will get you into a healthy state and keep you there. Losing poundage after this "state" is going to be harder but all it means is taking each of these rules to the extreme:
Ie only meat, veggies(the weird thing is you can eat as much of this as you want and you wont get fat) and fruits occasionally. Only water, seltzer. Eat every 3 hours with a bunch load of protein in each meal. This plus weight lifting will get you a six pack. Simple but not easy :).
