@Shaz51 Good that you are doing this.
Its great to isolate food down to a few issues. No it is not all about fat content.
I enjoy cooking a lot more now than I used to cos when kids were little I was stressing out about housing, finances, a million things. Took a low sugar, wholegrain and natural foods approach 30 years ago, but a relaxed approach, not fussy or extreme. Just not much packaged foods.
I had a bunch of asparagus for dinner one night this week, when I only had to cook for me.

sorry @SharpMindBPD, I was feeling a bit annoyed and low last night
Thank you @Appleblossom, yes I think i need to relax a bit more about this instead of trying too hard , sometime it feel like a uphill battle
but I am feeling a bit better today
