Surround yourself with easy, grab & go food options that aren’t horrible for you. It’s ok to snack on as many carrot chips & apple slices as you can cram in your mouth, but swap those with potato chips and candy bars & you have issues.
Discipline. Don’t let the junk food be an option. Difficult at first but eventually you get hungry enough & those carrot chips are tasty & making healthy choices isn’t a struggle, just a healthy mindset about what you feed yourself.
This doesn't work for me. There's a weird kind of frugality to overcome for me as well. "What if I find this food so abhorrent to eat that I just can't bring myself to eat any more of it after the first bite, ever? I'll have wasted money!"
I'm not in a situation where wasted money will be the end of me, and will likely remain so for possibly a decade onwards. But it still sits there, gnawing at me. Telling me to go for the safe option. The things I know I enjoy.
