What helps when I can’t stop thinking about food?

So I’m down about 40 from my all time high, with another 50 to go to my ideal weight. Over the past few years, I’ve just bounced back and forth over 10 pounds or so, and have a really hard time sticking with anything because no matter which method I use (calorie counting, keto, my own made up rules), it doesn’t address the fact that I have kind of a messed up relationship with food and think about it all day long. Even when I’m eating, I’m thinking of other things I’d like to eat. The only thing that ever helped was adderall and fasting (not at the same time) and I’m not medically able to use either of those right now.

It’s like taste is the most pronounced and pleasurable of my senses. If I could get out and do more fun things, that might help me not think about food so much. But with the little ones to take care of, most days are pretty routine and eating is the most fun thing I get to do sometimes.

Does anyone else feel like this? What helped you change your obsession with food and press forward on weight loss? I feel like the problem is in my mind, and once I get that straight, it won’t be such an uphill struggle to stick to a program to lose the rest of the weight.
