I face the same challenges. A lifetime of eating habits is hard to overcome.

When it comes to giving up "bad stuff", I try to take a moment and ask, "Do I really, really want this? Or is there a better choice?"

But when I'm hurried or stressed, it's just too easy to fall into an old pattern.

Even small changes add up over time. I've made a lot of dietary changes -- more vegetables/salads, less meat, way less sugar, less alcohol, etc. But it has taken years. And sometimes, I just gotta have the ice cream! It's a slippery slope.

What sort of changes are you looking to make?
