Answer

It seems there's a problem in your mindset.
Sometimes this happens because people think that because they ate something that's considered "bad" for your health your process is ruined and you have to start all over again.
So slowly go through your day and start making small changes like taking the stairs instead of the lift and think about prepping meals so when you're tired and hungry you don't just eat fast food because it's easy, you open the fridge and see the healthy meal in front of you so you eat that.
Try to make meals fun (not always the same) and savory (so you enjoy them).
If you're living with someone ask them to help you. Maybe you should all start eating healthier and only buy chips on rare occasions (so your brain won't trick you with the "I have chips in the kitchen and I could eat that)
Try different kinds of exercising and find what works for you. And try to meet friends while exercising or convince a friend to go with you, so exercise can be also an excuse to chat to your friends and you'll want to do it more often.
Go to bed and rest well, it's really important to recover the energy you spent (and exercise will help with sleeping if you don't do it too close to the time you need to be a sleep).
To sum up: these small changes serve to make everything easy your brain thinks maybe you don't want to eat chips that much now because you have to go all the way to the market; food is prepped with healthy meals so you don't have to make food when you're tired and just want something that doesn't require too much work, you want to see your friends so you exercise.
Changes take time don't just cut all you were eating and reduce it drastically because it's unsustainable and it probably won't work. Start slowly. 
Don't cut off carbs completely (it's in a lot of diets even though it's wrong) because it's the source of energy your brain uses and if you cut off completely you'll probably feel slow, tired and even notice some mood swings. Eat carbs, protein, fat (all necessary in moderation)
Remember: 
1) balance is key. 
2) You're in control; if you eat some chips tomorrow it won't affect your weight and won't make you restart your progress
3) try to have fun and make conscious choices that are realistic and you can keep (you won't want to yo-yo diet, you probably want to be healthy with the plus of boosting your confidence)
Best of luck!! You got this 💪
