First, set a goal. If your trying to be healthy and don't have a plan to work for you are setting yourself up for failure with a diet. Do you just want to eat healthier? Or do you want to lose weight? If you want to lose weight than you need to excerise a lot too. But either way there are basics to stick with for food.
First count how many calories you take in without dieting. Then you can choose how much you want to take off of that. A good way to start cutting back is by doing it gradually. Start by saying "I'm going to take cookies out of my diet," then go for two days with only cookies out and add a new thing to stop eating. Eventually, you'll have everything unhealthy off your diet and you will be able to stick to it.

Have you tried gradually changing your diet rather than doing it all at once? With a major change in diet, it's sometimes hard to stick with it. Start by replacing one meal a day (breakfast) with a healthier one. Once you get used to that, switch another meal (lunch) to a healthier one. Keep going until all your meals and snacks are healthy. Because you're doing it gradually, your body will adjust easier and you'll be less likely to backslide.
Try switching to a smaller plate. It's weird, but it tricks the mind into thinking there's more food on the plate than there actually is. This will help a great deal with portion control.
Keep a food journal. Write down everything you eat or drink. At the end of every week, go back through and see if you can pinpoint your problem areas. You will be surprised to see how much you really eat once you write it down.
Don't ignore your cravings. If you constantly deny yourself "treats", you'll start to get frustrated. Try to find lower-calorie or healthier options to satisfy your cravings. For instance low-fat chocolate pudding for a chocolate craving or fresh fruit for a sweet craving.
Watch how your food is prepared. Even the most healthy meal can be ruined if it's prepared in a high-fat or high-calorie way. Try to stick to foods that are steamed, boiled, baked, broiled, or grilled. Switch to cooking spray rather than butter or oils.
Make up some healthy snacks beforehand so you're less likely to grab a more convenient, less healthy snack. Raw fruits and veggies make great snacks.
