Good luck! I hope cooking is fun and habit-forming for you and doesn’t add too much friction. Our brains can be such slippery weasels when it comes to food. :P

Good luck! I hope cooking is fun and habit-forming for you and doesn’t add too much friction. Our brains can be such slippery weasels when it comes to food. :P Losing weight and improving nutrition is a very mental task. FWIW counting calories with an app helped me with both because I started to feel how expensive the bad foods are; I could eat veggies until I feel bloated and still have room for dinner, but snack on a couple of cookies and I’m immediately out of budget. Doesn’t work for everyone, but it also helped me to save room for a small treat at the end of the day.
