I am eating too much junk and processed food while watching movies and youtube videos. I want to stop as it affects my health. Any suggestions.

Stop buying it. That's how we slowed down / stopped.

This is the way. It's easier to have will power at the grocery store. Stop buying that crap and you'll have a harder time binging.

Also eat before going grocery shopping. It helps with the impulse.

And once you've stopped, listen out for the voice that says "just this once, as a treat, I've been good" because that voice lies

Agreed. Perhaps buy/prepare healthier options and have them conveniently available. Like popping your own popcorn for example vs getting microwave popcorn. I have an air popper. After popping some I add olive oil and salt. Store it in a ziplock for the wk. or I’ll buy Skinny Pop, ingredients are the same: popcorn, oil, salt..I really like popcorn.

I'm a little overweight and I avoid buying any kind of chips and snacks because I know I have almost zero willpower.

Also, eating a bit less than usual on each meal, like knowing when you're feeding and when you're just eating for pleasure.

Maybe I won't lose any weight but I hope to gain as less as possible.
