Would it maybe help to plan treats, one of the things that helped me eat healthier and make better decisions was to throw out the idea of good and bad foods. Pay day or Friday/ Saturday are good days for allowing freer reign then it feels more like a treat than a guilty snack. I also try to share the foods with my partner, I find it feels more like a treat if I think about it as treating him to something yummy and sharing it with him. I also start to associate those foods with good associations rather than with eating disordered thoughts.
I also worked on when I would be the most vulnerable for snacking that would make me feel guilty - for me it is afternoons when I'm sat at my desk. So I fill my desk with fruit and cereal bars and healthy snacks so that I see them before thinking about what is in the vending machine etc.
