This! This! This! A million times this! We set an alarm clock every day so we're not late for work -- does that mean we're obsessed with time? Tracking calories is just a way of having an alarm clock for food. It's a tool to help you in life.

I believe the rough math is a 500 calorie/day deficit will result in roughly 1lb a week of weight loss over time. So a 100 calorie/day deficit might result in a 1lb loss every 5 weeks, approximately. It's all up to you, where you want to go, and how you want to get there.
