    Back in a day, it was called "having a passion for something". Today, everything is some kind of issue-rexia. If you ask me, theres just too many f*cking psychologists out there. Thats the only real problem.

    The best thing to do is to avoid talking about it. I only discuss my weight loss goals with my friends list on MFP as we are all going through the same experience of trying to shed some extra weight. It's not obsessive to take care of yourself but what happens is that sometimes it can make other people feel guilty about their own body issues. However, it's not about them you are doing it for you. You are focused and working hard to get the results that you need and quite frankly it's none of their business.

    I don't really see a problem with being obsessed with your health. It's better than being obsessed with video games. You have one body and one life, if you're going to be obsessed with something it may as well be something that's going to make you live a happier more productive life. Sitting on your *kitten* playing Halo isn't going to do that.

    ^^ I agree that it's not anyone's business, but it's your life and becoming healthy is a huge decision. If you want to talk about it then talk all day. I talk about it with everyone and if they don't want to hear it, they don't need to come and talk to me.
