My advice is to focus on making things easy for yourself. Start with little things, especially in your diet. For example, if you like to drink coffee with sugary creamer, maybe try switching to a caffeinated tea or black coffee to save yourself the sugar. If you're addicted to comfort foods as many of us are, look around for some comfort foods that are healthy. For an example, you could try making this here recipe with protein pasta for some 100% healthy mac & cheese.

I make double batches to cut down on workload. I also find that some soup recipes like this one can be easy to make and deeply comforting:

Aside from that, try to find some vices that are less unhealthy than the ones you're currently struggling with. Stuff like watching YouTube & TV isn't exactly healthy, but it can displace some much worse numbing behaviors, so it can be worth it. If you don't get enough skin-to-skin contact with people you love, try to work on that because such contact boosts dopamine levels in addition to being fun. 🌺 And whatever you do, don't beat yourself up about it if it's not going well. Self care takes time and it's not a linear thing. ❤️
