Should I go on a diet/gusto

[Youagain2025]

So im trying to make my life more positive. And a bit selfish to. I have spent a long time getting my house in a manageable condition tidy wise. And I'm now decorating etc to make it feel more like a home. I'm learning to put up boundaries and say no.

So as part of trying to make my life better I thought it might be nice to loose weight and I may feel better about my personal self.

The thing is i need to make it as easy as possible. I need to do easy food. Things that won't take long . I find it hard to follow recipes I will read an instruction. Example 2 teaspoons of garlic powder... get garlic out of cupboard.... me how many spoons was it.. read i t again .. oh 2... undo the lid ho to get the spoon. Me was it tea spoon or table spoon. Looks again ... OK teaspoon... someone walks in kitchen... mum what you doing ... mum what time is dinner... mum how long will it be ... now I don't even know why I'm in the kitchen. This is all the time I even have to read how to cook chicken nuggets In the air fryer several times.

I have used gusto in the past. I don't like the help fresh one or others . Gusto seems to work for me . But I used the offers over a year ago they are only for new customers. I'm not sure if I can justify it money wise. I can afford it . Just not sure if its worth it.

Also I question will I actually stick to it. I don't like anything about my physical self nothing at all. I'm over weight. I don't look nice. I look much older than my age . My hair is awful. This is not meant to be negative by the way it's just acknowledging it so I can change it.

As much as I don't like my physical self I am feeling positive so maybe this is a good time to make a start ?

Sorry if none of this makes sense

One of the things that makes gusto easy is knowing you have all the ingredients and in the right quantities, no rooting around in the back of the cupboard or finding something has gone mouldy.

I am absolutely no expert but I find it easier to plan the meals ahead of time including when I'm going to prep. Then I get out all the stuff I need before starting to make it.

I also find it much easier to batch cook some stuff in advance so I'm not having to fit in prep and cook and serve all in that small window between getting home and needing to eat.

Do you have a slow cooker?
How old are your kids? Can you get them involved?

I do have a pressure cooker. I have batch cooked in the past which is helpful . But thats been when i have not really been thinking about calories etc. I don't think I cam batch cook with gusto.

There no way I can get the kids involved as soon as someone talks to me I loose what I'm doing.

I managed to do the gusto thing with a different email so I got the discount . So it was 30.00 instead of 60.00 I done it based on 4 people. So even if it was 60.00 that's 20 meals that does not seem bad ?

I'm going to take diet tablets to . Plus vitamins

Start walking a bit more but build it up .
