Weight loss as a hobby

It struck me last night that my diet has become a hobby. I log onto MFP every morning to post weigh in, exercise and breakfast. I anxiously record meals as soon as I finish and read the blogs. I look at the graphs even thought they barely change. Now I'm posting. Maybe the next thing I will do is buy t-shirts with weight loss messages. Hopefully I won't go that far. I don't know if being fixated is good or bad. It's just where I seem to be today.

    :laugh: Welcome to MFP. You're in for it now.

    I'm a bit obsessed with it.
    I also have a blog where I post pics of all my meals and weights and treadmill readouts. :happy:

    Good thing to know that I am not the only one obsessed with MFP. And I agree, this is my other facebook too. Whether it is a bad or good thing, it makes you aware of the process you are making on this journey. I say that is a good thing.

    It's not just a hobby to me. It's a lifelong, in-depth research study I'm conducting with myself now. Experiments and results keep me fully entertained and interested. I love it.
