Do you have to be an overachiever to lose?

Anyone think that they are over analyzing their "weight loss journey"?
I mean, in, out .. everything's a formula. Yeah, I get it, but don't you want to enjoy life too? I don't know about you all, but I don't want to count calories the rest of my life! But maybe that's what I need to do to get healthy? I've been fat my whole adult life .. Can you honestly tell me all healthy people do this?? Ughh!
I hate the idea of stressing over what I'm putting in my body when I could be living life and happy! Is this where the saying "fat and happy" comes from? I know one thing, I'm NOT happy being fat.
