Ht. 5'7", Wt. --- - Would any of you here agree that you're addicted to weight loss? I feel like I let it take over my life. Thinking about food, counting calories, measuring portions, working out constantly, weighing yourself often, comparing your body to other peoples. Is anyone else as obsessed as I am? I mean, I thrive off each pound I lose. I think I turned a healthy goal into an unhealthy obsession. I have no idea where I'm going with this - I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same.

me too..its always like im counting carbs, and if i eat something without knowing the carbs in it, im like "mom how many carbs is in this? is it ok if i eat it?" and then when i dont know the carbs, i get all upset that i ate what i did.

I know what you mean about an admirable prusuit turning into an unhealthy obsession. The good thing is that you've noticed and now you can go about fixing it. Try only weighing yourself once a week. That's the only thing I can think of at this point... just make sure that your obsession doesn't lead to an eating disorder, k?

You shouldnt just dwell on losing weight..its unhealthy and can lead to eating disorders.
