Trying to get healthy without becoming obsessed

Nt2Badhuh

I have struggled with compulsive overeating for quite some time and now I am trying to change my life and get control over food. My goal is to weigh 20 pounds less but my real goal is not to be a slave to food.


Now I have started using counters to keep myself accountable and some pounds later I thought I was getting a grip on it until I realized that I have a total of 5 calorie counters on my phone home page another 2 on my computer and I log in them all.... everyday. It's like I traded being a slave to food to a slave to weight loss and Im not comfortable with it but I cant think of a healthy medium in my delicate stage....like I feel like if I back off I will lose all control and be pushing 200 pounds again.

I know of all the stupid problems someone could have...this is top 5 but its really bothering me.

I know how you feel. Maybe, to stop the obsession, stick to one calorie counter a day- and only one. You don't need so many, right? Uninstall those apps and put the calorie counter off the homepage so you don't have to see it and think about it every single time you go to text or use your phone- only when you go to log.

Yeah I was thinking about it I def have to get rid of some of these....it's weird I just feel like Im right on the edge of starting to get myself to calm down with the food so I feel like any little change will blow it. It's silly.

Why do you feel like any change will blow it?
