Is my food "obsession" normal?

That was normal for me. I was obsessed with food and a good portion of my day revolved around planning out my meals, snacks and watching the clock for when I could eat next. There was no way that way of eating would have been sustainable for me long term; after only six months it was already wearing on me and getting harder and harder to maintain.

So I made the changes necessary for me to be able to maintain my weight without so much time and effort. Which just boils down to eating LCHF so my appetite is normal and I can trust my hunger signals, larger meals so I don't need or even want to snack throughout the day and no after dinner eating.

It probably sounds weird with the eat-all-the-time, anytime-is-a-good-time-to-eat food culture we have now but I remember growing up with these same restrictions so it feels right and good to return to eating this way.

This is a question I ask myself. So glad to know I'm not alone. I think it's perfectly normal, since what got me overweight was eating whatever the hell I wanted. So now that I am doing something about it, I really have to watch and plan. You're not alone!! Add me to the loony bin if it isn't normal, lol
