Does anyone else struggle to cook?

Does anyone struggle with cooking?

I’ve been trying to lose a bit of weight and thought that cooking fresh meals instead of having microwave/ready made meals would be better for me - but when it comes to cooking I really struggle to follow instructions and when I do and come to eat the food it’s not very nice.

For example, I was recently using one of those “Maggi cook in a bag” and it asks for 100ml of water for a meal that they say serves 4 but as it was just me eating the meal I would (after being told/snapped at by my mum) need to quarter it - i didn’t realise this and it has since meant having to cool more food.

The best way to describe it is that my brain likes to read and re-read the instructions but when it comes to doing them, I completely forget/don’t realise I’m doing it wrong - I do have dyslexia too so maybe it could be just that?

I’m still yet to be diagnosed but wondered if this was something other people experienced.

  • I did enjoy cooking in the past, but I lost my appetite for food for the last three years. Probably is the age, or I have a disease that I do not know. I took all kinds of vitamins, tried natural plants, like CBD oil. Now I focus on quality food because I care too much about my stomach and strive to follow a diet. After my stomach surgery, I realized that food makes you enjoy life if you eat in time and decent proportions.
