You can call it depression, or anxiety, or anhedonia. I straight up abhor "cooking" in the concept that we know it. I was not allowed in the kitchen as a child. I wasn't a picky eater - whatever my mom put on my plate, I ate up. I don't hate food - it was delicious. I ate pre-packaged foods (canned soups, salad kits) and healthy restaurant foods (casseroles, sandwiches, soups) throughout college.
I'm 30 years old now and I'm honestly feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Everyone tells me, "In order to lose weight, you need to meal prep!" I have zero interest in being in a kitchen. My idea of "meal prep" is to buy Lean Cuisines for my entrees, steam or stir-fry some veggies (and pour on some sauce), cut some fruit, drink only water and tea... and it has worked out so far for me and my weight loss/fitness journey. If I'm feeling spicy then I make some rice in the cooker to go with the veggies. Then I'm told, "Well that's just not sustainable for the rest of your life."
I know what I'm doing right now works for me (and HAS worked for me for the past 10 years). But the more I'm told that this is "unsustainable" and "you're not doing it right", the more anxious I get for the future. Is there really no situation in life where I can get by eating how I am now?!
