It's hard to resist. It's like being on a diet/fasting but having your cabinets stocked with all unhealthy food or a drug abuser with free drugs they can't have.
Self-control and discipline also take a lot of mental energy out of some people.
If you set yourself up not to need to exert this discipline, like in your example of keeping junk food out of the house, that's a burden off your mind.
That's mental energy you can use for other things.
(This simple analogy of requiring exhaustible mental resources for discipline doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. But there are some people it does apply to.)
