losing weight gained during surgery recovery

hi :) i’m spencer. i’m 26. i had to have spine surgery in september, and due to complications, plastic surgery wound care in january. with the recovery periods, i wasn’t able to work out properly for nearly 6 months. i was already overweight beforehand, but now it’s gotten worse. i’m trying to get back into it, but i don’t have the healthiest relationship with food. i love to snack, i love chips and soda, and i sometimes binge eat even when i know i shouldn’t. i don’t know anything about the science of food (carbs, sodium, fiber etc it all means nothing to me). i guess i just downloaded this hoping that forcing myself to log what i ate would discourage me from eating so badly. i’m also vegetarian which adds a little difficulty to meal planning (and i live at home while doing grad school, so a lot of my meals are not planned/prepared by me). i’m not sure why i’m posting all this lol. i guess i want app friends
