Junk food is hard to deal with. Any strategies for just saying no in the grocery store?

Number 1 rule. Make a list of what is needed and stick to it.
Number 2 rule. Always eat before going grocery shopping.

Walk away from it.

Walk away from it.

I can always count on you for useful advice.

It's just a mind game.
Tell yourself it's not good for you. Take a deep breath and walk away.

Don't go shopping when hungry and stay out of the junk food aisle.
Usually most of the stuff I purchase is on the outside perimeter of the store, dairy, meat, the produce section… All that stuff that's bad for you is in the middle of the store so if you have a few key aisles to avoid it can help a lot.

What gets me is those racks right at the entrance (that are also more expensive.) Thanks!

Self control. You can do it I believe in you.

Don't even look at them. Most grocery stores in my area actually have maps online of the layout of the store.
If you know your store well you can walk right past the bad s*** and not ever even focus on what's on the shelf.

If you want some junk every once in a while, eat some junk. It won't kill you.
Don't pull a KD and eat junk every single day.

I don't agree. Letting myself have any junk food just opens the door for more and more. It's important to not fall into cycles of binging and then cutting it out entirely, but, as a goal I prefer to set the bar higher.
