Personally, I simply changed a small amount at a time.

I eliminated sugar drinks (replaced with water and 50-50 club soda/juice, then eventually just club soda), and started walking 15 km a week.

Then, removed chips, and started swimming 600 m a week.

Two weeks later, was up to 2 km a week, and minor diet changes (replacing simple carbs with complex carbs, vitamin pills, etc)

Within 2 months, I was swimming 15 km a week, eating healthier (not dieting: just eating more regularly and selecting slightly healthier food), and had lost 13 lbs. And none of it is a burden, it is just now how things are.

Meh. Sorry for the biography, but the point is, if you are having problems with backsliding, try doing small changes instead of everything at once.

The goal in the end is to have a healthier lifestyle, right? If all you ever do is diet and splurge, that won't be a healthy lifestyle.
