I just realized that being relatively poor as a child changed my relationship with food. How do I fix it?

As the title says, I grew up without a lot of money in my household. We are a lot of processed foods and are big portions. I think I’ve developed an issue with seeing food and eating as much of it as I can because I don’t know when I’ll have the opportunity to eat such good food again soon. I tend to eat huge portions and have a lot of trouble stopping myself from overeating and it’s contributing to my weight gain. How can I change the mental relationship I have with food to not see it as a treat that I can binge on and rather as fuel? It doesn’t help that I’m a total foodie. I love to cook really good food and go out to nice restaurants when I have the chance. As a middle class adult with no debt, that tends to be pretty often.
