I don't know if its just me or anyone else feels this way but I tihnk I'm consumed by losing weight each and every hour each day. I'm constantly thinking about when I can eat next or what kind of excercises I should be doing. I think its because I'm scared I'll fall off the wagon and that its a constant reminder of why I'm losing the weight. Is anyone just as obssessed as I am? (I sound like a weirdo but i swear Im normal lol)

    I'm the same way. I have an addictive personality and this goes right along with it. I'm scared I'm going to obsess over it to the point of being burned out.

    um, yeah, I am obsessed. No doubt. And, it's okay with me, for now. I do my best not to "over talk" diet and exercise with those that don't share my journey...that way, they don't get tired of hearing it and I don't sound like I am preaching. It's a win win!!

    I think thoughts about all of this have pretty much taken over my life too!!! It's a crazy feeling because I never used to think about it except to say....uuuuughghhg, I'm too heavy!!! Now all I think about is eating and working out which is ok by me, I just hope I'm not driving everyone else around me CRAZY!

    I am suddenly obsessed too. Think about it every minute. And even when I eat within limits I feel like I over ate. You are not alone!

    ugh....me too. I go too far with things and then get bored of them quickly so I'm trying to NOT do that on here.

    It's not weird it's how we get ourselves going, but soon you'll be thinking less about those things and thinking more about how well you are doing, how much you've learned, how natural it is for you to eat healthier and choose foods more naturally. I promise it'll get better. It won't always be a smooth ride, but once your body becomes more like a well tuned performance machine you'll notice the bumps less.

    For me, it is important to not be obsessed with food nor with losing weight. For me, God has to be first, not food. If I am keeping Him first, then I must treat my body as His temple, not be gluttonous. Obsessing over exercise, etc, can be just as bad as food-as far as spiritual matters are concerned. My motive this time has to be to return my body to the way in which intended for it to be, not the way I changed it. The perks are the clothes fitting better and more energy, etc.

    You are not alone. I am obsessed too. I read about eating/fitness online. I buy all the books and magazines. I buy more workout clothes than clothes for work. It's bad...

    I am too! I think it helps to keep me on track. If I wasn't obsessed I would still be 199 lbs instead of 181 lbs! I am also obsessed with the scales, not in a bad way- they just help me to stay on track too.




    Lots of cute babies on this thread!!

    I think it's great that you are putting so much effort into your journey and the results are paying off - well done. You are not alone dont worry about that!!

    What really bugs me is the sinny girls (AKA my friend) who weight around 56kg and is CONTINUALLY banging on to anybody about what she is eating, exercise (or lack of), cutting out complete food groups and her "fat"*kitten*! The girl looks like a short barbie!! It is so exhausting to listen to, especially when I think she could do with a few meat pudding in her ha!

    p.s - I stole your mantra for my FB page! Hope you dont mind but I think it is perfect!

    I know how you feel. I have been testing maintenance for about a month. I haven't been tracking food, but I have excercise because I feel that is the key to maintenance. So far so good, I eat pretty clean and I haven't gained. Well except I keep losing and gaining the same 2lbs. But to me that is normal maintenance. But I weight myself every day and record just to measure the fluctuations and make sure I don't gain. I still do want to lose 5 more lbs, and since I have been maintenance I have lost 5, not including the 2 I keep gaining and losing.

    I think it's only natural and HEALTHY for us to be obsessed with losing excess weight. Once it becomes a part of you, it becomes less consuming, and more natural like second nature to do the right things for ourselves. Just allow this time to be focused and let all your energy go towards it.
