Welcome Nic.
I invite you to start a journal as a way to track food, or process some feelings as you continue your journey. Its a great place to figure out what's going right, or what needs to be tweaked.

Your focus on health and a lifestyle change is so positive. For me, I had to practically chant to myself for months that this woe was a lifestyle change, that whether i lose or not this is the best woe for me. Even on days i didn't "feel it", consistently repeating to myself that I am doing this for health, and reminding myself of those benefits, including more energy, better sleep, less brain fog really helped not to focus on the scales and helped me believe in that bigger motivation (bigger than just vanity, as you said).

Every time i felt down about it, i read lots of old threads on emotional eating, or motivation, or boredom...there is so much to benefit from here. You can do this!
