For me, it’s because I want something new.

I crave new flavors and textures.

I found relating this to cooking to be a catalyst in slowing down my eating.

Instead of instant gratification, I have to learn to make it. Don’t order it. Don’t have it brought to you. Don’t buy pre packaged.

It changed my relationship with unhealthy eating because it stopped being mindless/cognitively dissonant.

Make the food you want and see how your relationship changes.

ETA: make ANY food you want. Having to be the person who puts a stick of butter into something changes you.
