Ht. 5'5, Wt. --- - How do you guys keep from getting obsessive about your diet and weight loss? It seems like yesterday, since I didn't have anything better to do, all I did was sit and think about losing weight and how all I needed to do was lose 18 more pounds. (Yes, I added on another 5 pounds to my goal.) It seemed like I had no energy yesterday either. I walked 3 miles though, so that's a plus, and I also managed to get in 1200 calories or less. Also, another question, is okay to get less than 1200 in per day? It seems like all I eat are those Lean Cuisines, Smart Ones, Healthy Choice meals, and the occassional Subway 6" sandwich. The calories don't really add up in them. Plus, last night, I just had green beans for supper. Is that okay? I felt full and such.

Considering doctors and nutritionists everywhere say AT LEAST 1200 calories is needed, don't tell people otherwise. Less calories starves your body.

its not okay to get less than 1200. 1200 is the minimum. 3 miles is perfect. Doing more is obsessive. I dont get obsessive because i realize that i cant change things overnight. I get into the routine of everything so it doesnt make me ocd.
