How do I stay on track with healthy eating when it feels like there's no return from a junk fest for 3 weeks?

So I'm normally super fit and in general I love to eat clean and healthy but lately I've had ZERO self control and it's making me gain a bit of weight since I ended up spraining my ankle while boxing. I couldn't really do anything so it got me lazy. I can do more now but I'm still food crazed. I need to lose weight to stay in my weight class. Any ideas how I can practice discipline from eating bad food?

Maybe go for filling foods? Like if you have some yogurt and flaxseed that will fill you up way more than the empty calories in a bag of chips so you won't want to eat more. Maybe try to stop buying junk foods as well? If it's not in house it will be a hassle to get it.

Find some type of exercise that you can still do with your ankle injured, like swimming. I know that I naturally eat more healthy foods when I am exercising and living a healthy life style, rather than just trying to diet.

Learn self-hypnosis. I did when I was seventeen and it helped me quit smoking and became a health oriented.

Stay away from sugar. It's addictive and increases your weight even faster than fat.
