Sounds like a recipe for giving yourself an eating disorder like ARFID. What you want to do is change your relationship with food, not just cut yourself off from anything remotely 'bad'. If you crave a cookie, have a cookie, one, only one, account for it in your diet plan and adjust your intake accordingly. You'll never make it if you can't control yourself around your favorite foods and only succeed by avoiding anything unhealthy. You can't avoid all unhealthy foods all the time and still function like a normal person, you have to learn self control. There will be parties, social gatherings, friends and family will have unhealthy foods around and offer them to you. You have to able to enjoy them in moderation and control yourself around them like everyone else does. You have to be able to restrain yourself around unhealthy foods and not binge on them. Build up your willpower, your ability to tell your fatty brain "no, this is enough" when it wants to binge something.
Lets say your sweet tooth craves chocolate, you can binge and eat an entire bar, or you can try to avoid chocolate the rest of your life, either way you didn't solve the issue, your lack of self control around chocolate, you can avoid chocolate for years only to be face with an opportunity to binge and break down. Or you can build up your tolerance to binging, strengthen your resolve, buy yourself a chocolate bar and commit yourself to only eat 1 square off that bar a day, no more and no less, when you can get through an entire bar without eating more than a single square a day or avoiding eating a square you know you have the will to resist its call. It will lose that power over you. Willpower is the key, self control, your ability to indulge a little but keep it within moderation, that's what you need to build.
