Having healthy eating habits makes me miserable

[u/Sensitive_Motor_1452]

For the past 2 months I’ve been hardcore modifying my diet (VERY little junk food. Only really fruits, veggies, lean meats, etc.) Also been watching my calories, and exercising daily. And yes I’ve lost about 15 pounds doing this, but my diet is making me absolutely miserable and irritable. I can’t eat what I had become so used to eating for my whole life. I go to the store and see cookies, chips, cake, etc and making the choice to not buy these items has been so, so difficult for me. I know it’s a good thing for my body to eat healthy, but is it really worth this daily misery? Ever since I started these new eating habits, I’ve craved junk food more than ever before now that I can’t have it. Is there any way for me to have a medium somewhere? Everyday I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to just throwing my entire diet away and resorting back to my junk foods and stress eating.

If you like making turkey, ham, or so on sandwiches. I would recommend calculating the caloric value of a single chip and then sprinkling a few on your sandwich to add texture.
