It sounds to me like you can do it, but you may just need to take a longer amount of time to transition to healthy eating. It can be so friggin hard to make that U-turn from the bad stuff to the healthy stuff, but it does get easier every day that you do it. I reccomend that you get really in depth with yourself and figure out what your 'non-negotiables' are. Those are the foods that you will absolutely NOT cut out, but they are not the foods that you feel "meh" about. The ones you love. If you figure out what foods you definitely love and need to eat and parcel them out at each meal, then you can start to fill in the gaps with healthier stuff. Cold turkey is hard, so warm it up a little bit until you really get into the healthy eating. ;-)
I am kind of the same way in that I don't eat huge amounts every time I eat, but I graze sort of frequently, so something that has helped with that is to get more precise about my eating schedule. I eat a small meal/snack every 2-3 hours. It keeps me from getting ravenous, keeps my metabolism pumping, but it also helps me keep food in check. Break down how many cals for each 'meal' or 'snack session' and try to stick to it. It will definitely help you get a handle on the all-day snackfest.
Good luck darlin, if you have the will, you have the way. Come back often for support, you will always find it here!!
