Definitely read up on what's in the food you are eating. I'm not saying it'll be the one magic deterrent for bad food, but it helps to know how different foods and chemical additives have an effect on your body. And I don't just mean avoiding McDonald's because of certain chemicals in their foods. You need to know what extra salt or sugar or not enough protein or even too much protein do to you, for example.

Veggies, fruits, lean meats, maybe the occasional grain are all good... if you're cooking, and you find these things boring, learn different spice combos and different cooking methods to make them more appealing. If eggplant is meh, roast it. If lean chicken does nothing for you, try a rosemary herb recipe. Salt but don't oversalt.

Try to cut out liquid calories as others have suggested. Morning coffee may be okay (minimal cream and sugar), but anything monster sized with a whipped cream and sprinkled top from Starbucks probably is not.

If you go out to eat, make a conscious effort to eat something healthy, like grilled salmon and steamed or roasted veggies.

It's also okay to have some vices too. Just make sure it's not a three-times-a-day vice or something that will likely wreck your progress. Have a once a month Sunday brunch with waffles. Or have that rare glass of Dr. Pepper. Just understand it's rare.

For exercise, find an activity you love. Whether it's weights, or aerobics, or dance, or even just cleaning your house, do something you're likely to stick to.
