Take up cooking as a hobby. Even if you start with a meal company like hello fresh or home chef etc. Or look at recipe sites like allrecipes (there's lots of them). Then, portion control. I've found that using a smaller plate and never going back for seconds reduces how much I consume. Your brain knows how hungry you truly are. Then chew slowly. Enjoy every bite. You will then recognize that you are full and it helps prevent overeating. Look around you. Excluding teenagers, how many thin people do you see scarfing down food? Slow down, the foods not going anywhere. Add fresh produce to every meal. You will feel much better because of the fiber and nutrients. Pretty soon, you will actually crave veggies. Drink water. A lot of people overeat because they are dehydrated. Good luck on your diet-controlled journey!

Here's what I found always works. Even after clothes have been washed and dried. Put some "goo gone" on the spot. Let sit for 15 min. Put "Spray & Wash" on goo gone and rub in, leave for 5 min (Goo gone will leave stain if you don't spray & wash it.) Wash. Grease will be gone. I have never not had this work. If you fail to let sit, it might not work so repeat.

Go to the library. Most libraries have "recommended" books. Check the descriptions. If it sounds interesting, check it out. Look through different genres. Our tastes change and evolve. Also you might discover something you never thought you would like. I discovered I love mysteries in my late 30's. I thought I hated them, turns out I just didn't find authors I liked. Take as much time as you want. Check out lots of books. Take them home and read a chapter. You will know pretty quickly if you like it. If not, put it down and start a different book. Do not feel guilty. Only read books you enjoy. I don't waste my time reading books I don't like-theres too many good books to read. And don't let anybody tell you what types of books are good or bad. If you like romance or YA or classic literature-read it. Also, I really recommend the book clubs here, especially for longer books or harder literature. I find they add a lot to the books. People will add opinions or information about the author or story that is intriguing.
