what is important is HOW you will be consistent and disciplined...

everyone is different and before we find something that works for us it can take some time...

I wrote myTake about making changes in baby steps... maybe it will work for you as it works for me

I eat junk food almost daily as well just smaller portions and I exercise almost daily because it allows me to enjoy shitty food and it gives me euphoria right after. If I overeat it is alright I just to exercise for an additional hour or so to burn it. Try to stick to a schedule that is all there is to it. It is alright to eat junk food just don't overindulge. I think most people have an issue with that because they can't put a stop when they consume something unhealthy and that is why people who start eating healthy usually lose weight faster than those who don't, because they can eat larger portions without gaining as many calories as they would get if they consumed junk food.
So I am not sure if eating smaller portions of junk food and exercising would help you, since it doesn't work for most people.

Join a running club, or a biking club

get out running, cycling, it can be road or mountain biking

just do it. if you spend time burning off calories it means you are making a difference to what you are feeling, take it slow but start it this month.

once you have started the above, gradually adjust your diet, also drink lots of water or water based juice (Robinson etc)

Set your alarm for a specific time each day and get out, this is where a club comes in best

notice no mention of dieting, you need to exercise, get fit and feel the difference.

its a seesaw, you have intake on one side and on the other what you burn.

you need to hit the burn side first or you will not really get anywhere other than trying different dieting things.

Don't worry about being so strict so soon. I'll tell ya, some of the best things I did regarding diet were slow paced to allow my bodies rhythm & especially hormones adapt to the changes.

My advice would be to log everything that you consume & still eat like you do now. Then as time goes by, simply take away more of the bad & implement more of the good.

Some other things that will help is to consume foods with a low glycemic index/load & make sure you're eating balanced meals in terms of macronutrients relative for your immediate energy or recovery needs.

first all the high sugar and high fat snacks, throw away and never buy.

chips potato corn root chips all hi fat.

no cola with sugar etc. no beer etc.

when you want a snack take crispy carrot and a glass of water insted of snacks.

at meals bribe yourself to eat salad using low fat yummy salad dressing. eat vegetables in a balanced meal but never buy those snacks.

Start small, make consistent small changes, and stop eating junk food.

It is going to take effort. Accept that.
