I recommend finding some allowed food that will "keep you off the ledge," so to speak. For me, for a long time, it was frozen mango. I would defrost it in the microwave, and it made the most wonderful snack, 100% allowed (I don't worry about the size of fruit portions if I am eating plenty of starch and veggies). Recently, the frozen mango wasn't doing the trick, but I got onto Japanese sweet potatoes. Any time I am tempted by some food I shouldn't eat, I remind myself that I will enjoy the mango or the Japanese sweet potato so much more than that other food, and it won't pay me back by making me feel awful.
I also find it helps to indulge whatever healthy cravings I might be having, even if those veggies are a bit more expensive or if it means an extra trip to the store.
I hope that helps! Also, the more I have resisted cravings, the more they have disappeared. So hopefully time will also help you!
