cut the crisps out.
cut the chocolate out.
Go to a diet fizzy drink or no fizzy drinks at all.
Cut the Coffees to 2-3 (morning,lunch,afternoon coffee). Try to avoid drinking coffee at all after 4pm.
Go out still but get nicely pissed, or do it once a weekend instead of both nights.
Start cooking proper meals.

fruit is good in the morning like Icy says, if you get hungry before lunch have an apple or something (I normally end up going into Pret and grabbing an apple cause of this).

Maybe try excercising too.
If you get a gym membership normally someone there can do you an introduction and give you a good gym routine.

Why do we need water?
Water comprises 50 to 70 per cent of an adult's total body weight, and without regular top-ups, our body's survival time is limited to a matter of hours or days.
Water is lost from the body through urine and sweat, and must be replaced through our diets. Many people, though, don't consume enough and as a result may become dehydrated, causing symptoms such as headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration. Chronic dehydration can contribute to a number of health problems, such as constipation and kidney stones.
How much do we need?
The body gets its water from three sources:
From drinks, either plain water or as part of other beverages.
From solid foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
As a by-product of chemical reactions within the body.
The British Dietetic Association advises that the average adult should consume 2.5 litres of water per day. Of this, 1.8 litres - the equivalent of six to seven glasses of water per day - must be obtained directly from beverages. This should be increased during periods of hot weather or during and after periods of physical activity.
Water is the major ingredient of all drinks: carbonated and still drinks are 65 per cent water, diluted squashes are 86 per cent water (after dilution) and fruit juices are 90 per cent water. But drinking plain water is still the most effective way of replacing lost fluids.
How to achieve your daily water intake
Start as you mean to go on, with a glass of water when you wake.
If you're at work, keep a jug of fresh water on your desk so it's within easy reach to top your glass up throughout the day.
If you're out and about during the day, carry a bottle of water so you can have a drink whenever you want.
Increase your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables; they have a high water content as well as many other health benefits.

IF you're in trouble with what you eat then i'm fucked.
Generally don't wake up early enough to have any breakfast, if i eat during a day it's normally at 4ish, and is burgers, or some kind of takeaway.
I then either work in the evening (at a pub) or go out on the piss. Then have a takeaway on the way home.
If i work during the day, then i'll have no brekkie and maybe a burger king for lunch.
Drink wise, i have a pint of water in the morning, then coke during the day, and usually beer in the evening.
BUT,
I'm a student, so it's ok.
