Having Trouble Eating Healthfully in College

I found this community almost... three years ago? It helped me lose 40 pounds, and I still want to lose more weight, but it's become less of a focus for me because I'm happier with myself and have less time to think about weight loss than I used to. College is really busy, so I'm trying to not overeat and stay active, but it's hard to count calories like I used to.

That's a little bit of a background on me, but the main problem here is that I've been having trouble eating healthfully. I know my body much better than I used to, and I weigh myself daily, so I can adjust my eating habits accordingly. The problem is that now more of the food that I eat is junk food. I ate really well (albeit way too much) in high school because that's what my mom kept in the house. But now the easier options are the dining places on campus and snacks in the dorm room.

I know that it's on me to make good decisions. But it's hard to remember sometimes. My body does not feel good right now. I had ramen for lunch, and now my chest hurts. I'm so mad at myself for not making healthy decisions even though I've been working on myself for so long now. I feel like I've lost the mindset that I once held. Now that I hate myself less, I find myself making unhealthier choices. I suppose the best thing to do is to remove the temptations from my dorm room.

I think I'm going to start working on losing weight again along with increasing my physical fitness. I think if I make my body a focus again rather than just my grades, I'll start making better choices.

Do you have an advice on how to keep this a focus in life when school can be very overwhelming? Or, perhaps do you have advice on how to make healthy decisions and keep a healthy mindset when you are emotionally overwhelmed? I counted calories for almost a year, but I don't think I have the time or mental energy as a college student to do that. I want to make healthier food and lifestyle changes.
