Very true, I have a friend who wants to lose weight and said "but eating makes me happy." Easiest way to keep your current habits and lose weight is just add on going to the gym, and the more you go the more you can eat. Added bonus is no matter what happens you'll just feel better in daily life.
Me and my wife are big foodies, so cutting out all food that isn't strictly "healthy" was never an option lol. I usually burn ~800 calories at the gym, that's a whole stick of butter lol
We still have been making healthier choices in general (protein pasta instead of regular, chicken breast instead of thighs, and less oil/butter while cooking, but weve been able to get healthy while for the large part eating the same as how we did before.
The biggest change is that were a lot more cognizent about protein, and we log our meals, but neither of those is an issue
