[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

Thank you SO much to all the PPs.  I think there are some really valuable responses here and I think already I am tuning into what I need to do.

My takeaways:  I have to reduce my portions.  Cook more at home.  Exercise more/weight train.  (I do exercise but not enough!)  And go back to tracking my food.

And, a really big thank you to 13:58 for those thought questions.  I do need to re-evaluate these things and congratulations on your weight loss!  Your questions about other sources of pleasure resonated with me and I need to find other sources.  My life is stressful right now so time is short for the things I want to do for myself.  And, if I am honest with myself, being a foodie is starting to feel too stressful.  Too many choices get overwhelming and if I eat more simply at home I will save time in the decision making process.

And fwiw, I do cook healthy foods.  I have above average cooking skills and like a variety of healthy foods.  I think after 2-3 nights of healthy dinners I get fatigued and bored.  But I will figure out how to push past this.  Part of the problem is being a short order cook for the rest of my family--picky eaters, sensory issues, etc and this contributes to my burnout.  I am actually in the kitchen all the time!
