Any tips on fighting the burnout you mentioned earlier?

Approach the changes you're making in terms of discipline, and not in terms of motivation. You don't have to psych yourself up to put gas in your car, and yet you do it routinely without thought or argument, even though it's expensive and annoying and time out of your day. That's what you need to aim for.

That's why the changes you make need to be sustainable, and things you're willing to do long term. If your goal right now is to never eat anything fun, that's only going to last as long as you feel like you hate yourself enough, and that's not good. So figure out the things you're happy to cut out forever, and the permanent reductions you're happy to make. Figure out delicious and nutritious food that isn't calorie dense.

A simple way to moderate this is just to do your decision making at the supermarket, rather than at home. Can't have that argument with yourself at 2am on a bad day if there is simply no ice cream or chocolate cake in the fridge.
