I can’t imagine trying to cook for others
I started Tirzepatide a few months ago and one thing I noticed was I do not have the same anticipatory thoughts when shopping & food prep. I used to love to make meals for friends I don’t think about what I would make for a dinner party etc. I haven’t entirely lost interest in food, and what I want has changed, and overall desire is dialed down. I used to cook a lot of stuff from scratch and spent so much time shopping, prepping cooking cleaning up.
I’m a woman and who was married twice and did all the kitchen work (no kids due to infertility) so this feels super liberating. I think more about ordering prepared food, takeout, and I buy more frozen meals because I just don’t have the same drive to do the work.
So I’m curious about anyone here who have people depending on them for meals and how that mental load has changed for them.
