This is what I am trying to do as well. Switch out bad habits for healthy ones. But it looks like I also need to dial down the quantity — maybe drop to two meals a day.

Yeah, no shit. As I mentioned in another comment, that was a low hanging fruit that saw me lose nearly 10 pounds when I cut that out of my diet.

I want to scream at people when I see them hanging 6-packs off the sides of their grocery carts — or seem them stacking cases of soda in the cart undercarriages.

U.S. grocery stores are depressing places when you come to recognize, as has been said, that more or less the whole store minus the end-aisles (where produce, deli, etc. are) is just processed crap.
