But how do animals without homes learn to cook their meat?
It's not just that we eat "too much" but also that we're eating too much non-nutritive foods. The United States has entirely too many so-called "food deserts" where people are unable to purchase healthy foods
HBO loves doing this with their shows. See also True Detective

Mining rocks and killing bugs. Hey we all gotta make a living
OP should try opening the pickle jar with their thighs
But who taught her to load the dish washer?
Yeah, fuck EA. Even the Sims 3 which came out in 2009 is still $20 for just the base game. All 19 DLCs are also $20. But wait, you can get the game and all the DLC packaged in a bundle for the low low price of just $190 (on Steam).
Absolutely ridiculous even without considering that you need an EA account to play legitimately which is a whole other pile of crap.
The first thing you said here is pretty spot on for me. Losing weight is largely a psychological battle, so giving people a simple task list doesn't always work.
What we need to understand is that "losing weight" goes against our biological programming. We have evolved over millenia to crave carbohydrates (sugars) and fats because they are ready sources of energy, and to only undertake strenuous physical activity if absolutely necessary. In developed nations today neither of these leads to very healthy living, so we need to actively fight against our reptile brains to stay healthy.
As you said, consistency is key. You don't get healthy by working out 9 hours one day only and eating salad for a week, you get healthy by making small, manageable healthy choices every day.
Try doing a little more exercise this week than you did last week. You can increase time, intensity, or frequency of whatever your chosen activity is. Try deprogramming your need for ultra-sweet foods by limiting your sugar intake and always try to consume fiber with your sugars (raw fruits are great for this.)
Little by little you will see beneficial changes
Stopped drinking my calories (alcohol, juice, soda, etc.) and fell in love with running.
Yep. Unfortunate though this is, it's an important lesson for OP and their kiddo.
Save early and save often.
