Obsessing about Calories

Calorie obsessing is a double edged sword for me. While stressing about it unhealthy, it's also forced me to address what is probably my biggest issue with my weight: portion control. I used to gorge myself so full it was unreal. It's definitely made me far more conscientious about how much I'm eating. Now I basically eat whatever I want. Just a lot less of it.0

Too bad people don't do this with their money. Anyway, that's a personality thing (I'm OCD about the weight room having an equal amount of plates on each weight tree and will fix it before working out) and you either learn how to make it a positive, or find a different way to lose weight. Some people just eat whole foods and a single "cheat" food to just keep their calories in check.
Or you can eat systematically, meaning eating the same meals every time so you KNOW how much you're eating without counting.
