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.

Also, it might take time.

For completely different reasons I started to draw, like 5 minutes a day (that was tougher than most things I have done, weirdly) and keeping at it for a couple of months.

Thats the way to go from one(less good) thing to another, reliably doing it every day, and quickly (well they say 90 days) it becomes an easy and pleasant thing you like to do.

Did it with jogging too, took longer (as I wasnt in shape for it, had crap shoes, back and muscles) but eventually it became a nice thing to do too.

And it all ads up, helping. I mean life is hard.

Pro tip, one day check out keto, and the idea about stopping eating all kind of sugar (potatoes, candy, snacks, processed food...). Don't rush it but know that it's really good for both your physical health(who would have thought eh) but also for your mental health, it's quite the thing. So maybe one day eh!

Last words; everyone can do it, it just takes time. If you dont have the mental, just take it slower and it'll come around.
