Has anyone found using a BMF makes you too obsessive

I came off it as I was becoming obsessed with calorie counting. In two weeks though, I've put on five pounds! How do you manage not to obsess about it?

    Bodymedia Fit. It's an activity monitor. Called the Kifit in the UK. .

    I don't think I am obsessive, but if you asked my husband he would probably say that I was. But then again, I am on a diet and he is eating whatever he likes.

    I found that if I do not stop what I am doing and log right away sometimes I forget what I snacked on or do not know the portion size I ate. Also, when we eat at a chain restaurant I usually look in the MFP database first to see how many calories. Some people might find this weird but I have been shocked by the calories in some of the restaurant foods that I thought would be "healthy".

    Sometimes in order to meet a goal we have to shift our priorities a little and for right now I'm ok with that.

    I've had mine for a week. This morning I forgot my phone at home and my first thought: "Oh no! I'm not going to be able to sync and check on my calorie burn throughout the day!" Then I remembered I had my iPad. :embarassed: So yeah, I'm feeling a little obsessive. I'm hoping once the newness wears off, it will become a little less of a focus.
