After about a year and 30lbs down, I've gained no intuition for how much food is enough. Will I be meticulously logging calories literally for life?

People say you might have to be really obsessive and meticulous logging every single crumb in the beginning or while you're losing, but once you reach a certain point healthy foods and portions will feel more natural to you and it can be a little looser. Eating right will become a habit rather than a chore.

Well that hasn't happened to me, I've been doing this for give or take a year, am down about 30-35 lbs and it still feels like just as much of a chore as the first day. If you put food in front of me I'll eat all of it and still want more. Eating might literally be the biggest joy in life to me. And I hate logging calories frankly, no matter how I do it if it's an app, pen and paper, whatever it's all such a huge hassle to me. I hate it, no matter what it feels like so much work.

But will I have to do this forever? I know for certain that if I reach my goal weight and stop logging every drop and crumb I put into my body and eat "intuitively" I'll gain it all right back. But the thought of having to log it all for the next 50 years until I die makes me want to scream.

Does it ever get easier? Does logging calories ever become not a gigantic hassle? Because after a year it still hasn't and it sincerely feels like one of the biggest sources of happiness in my life has converted to nothing but a chore
