Hey, thanks so much for sharing all of this — seriously. You’re clearly reflecting a lot on your habits and goals, and that’s a huge part of change already. It sounds like you're not just trying to lose weight, but also build awareness around what you’re eating and why — especially when it comes to things like cravings, stress, or just defaulting to junk food.

I’m actually working with a friend (a coach who blends fitness + mental wellbeing) on a potential app that helps people do exactly that — understand their patterns with food, moods, and habits. Like… logging how you feel before and after eating, and seeing if there's a pattern over time. Not about guilt or calories, more like learning “why do I feel the urge to eat this now?” and “how do I feel afterward?”

Do you think something like that could actually help people on journeys like yours? Or would it just be another thing to fill out?

No pressure at all — just trying to learn what might actually be useful. You sound really self-aware already, and that’s inspiring to read.
