I’ve found that I just enjoy the process of cooking. Sometimes I invite friends over or I turn on cooking shows to help me get into the mindset to cook nice food, otherwise I eat nothing but sandwiches and junk

Like, day week every day planned? And do you just make big meals then? Or like quarter portions

I also found that preplanning and shopping exclusively for ingredients for those meals helps, cuz then that’s all I can eat lol

It depends on the week sometimes I’ll make a certain meal and plan for leftovers or I’ll just know I want something small like I make sushi in small amounts
