How do I break the childhood habit of eating not matter what?

Most of my childhood I grew around my grandparents because my parents were working in another country.

My grandparents had this habit of eating no matter what (because of their own childhood traumas). And because of them I created this habit of the constant need of eating something. I eat no matter what. If I am watching a movie, I need to snack. If I am playing a videogame, I need to snack. I ate a big plate of paste, I need a dessert. It is the constant need of eating/snacking.

I tried intermediate fasting, but the fact that I know I have leftovers in my fridge is driving me crazy and I end up eating them even if I am full already.

I tried drinking water whenever I feel this need and it feels like water makes me crave something even more.

I can not make myself busy to stop thinking about eating because I was always eating when doing something.

I feel like I am losing my mind. I am getting more depressed over this problem. I tried every possible diet with no luck. The longest diet was around 1 month and it did not get easier, in fact it got harder.

I even tried to eat smaller sized snacks but I end up thinking about them and it does not get away. It never gets easier.

I feel like crying just writing this stuff and I hate myself for having such a bullshit problem.
