Anyone falling into the obsessive side of weightloss?

I'm going through that as well. Started at 162, my goal was 145, now I've made it to 135. But I still want to lose more... I've definitely become obsessed but know I need to stop. But how?

At my heaviest i was 210lbs (giving birth to my son), i am now 146lbs. My first goal was 150, which i thought i would be happy with, but im not happy with it. I'm 5'6. I have a new goal, 130lbs. However i fear my goal won't ever feel good enough......

I completely understand this. At my heaviest I was 171 (when I was pregnant with my son)... then lost the baby weight and went back to 143 (which was my norm).. but then somehow gained back to 162 a couple years later. My original goal was to get back down to 143 .. then 135 when that wasn't good enough.. then 130.. and now it's 125.
Everyone tells me how fantastic I look.. but I don't know.. I guess I just still see the overweight me. I don't think it's a numbers thing .. .it's honestly a head game with myself.

..I'm 5'5

I know my goal won't ever be good enough. In fact, now I've just accepted it, and decided to be happy and eat some total crap every once and a while, because even though I'm pretty close to goal (and about the same as you), I'm still picking everything apart in the mirror.

OMG I could have totally written this. I started at 247 had an original goal of 147. Met that goal. Thought I could go lower...now I just keep lowering my goal. I have my current ultimate goal set at 139 and I hit 139.6 this morning and immediately started contemplating how much lower I could go. I have been feeling somewhat depressed about this thinking all day long. AT what point will I be happy?

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I had an original goal of 135 and now I'm 127, but I still freak out every time I go over my suggested daily caloric intake...I mean, I certainly don't condone eating disorders, but I think I understand how it could get to that point. I'm just terrified of gaining it all back and I always seem to find someone smaller than me and I question if I should set my goal even lower.

When you do hit your goal, are you guys setting your caloric intake to maintain your current weight? I just feel like that'd be really difficult after 7 months of 1200cal a day.

I have been there. About 5 years ago I got on the scale, saw 148, and went on a diet. My goal was 135. I ended up continuing to lose until I weighed 114 lbs. And I STILL wasn't happy with my body. Unfortunately I have already begun to develop a bad relationship with food that lasted for years, and I ended up gaining back 45 lbs altogether.

Now that I'm trying to lose weight again, I have discovered the importance of strength training, and the importance of NOT just going by the number on the scale. I am happier with my body now at 156 than I ever was at 114 because I was just flab, skin, and bones. Please don't let things get out of hand like I did - if you are honestly concerned it's getting to that point, I recommended talking to someone you know in real life and let them know how you're feeling. Losing weight is difficult, especially when you're not seeing the results you thought you were going to get. I just offer my story as a warning because you're at the point where you can make the decision to change your attitude about eating and not let yourself get overly obsessive. I no longer count calories but just watch my portions, in addition to exercising 6x a week. It's been really great for my mental health.
