Therapist wants me to stop tracking my food as it repeatedly spirals into a harmful, obsessive, overly restrictive, ritualistic anxiety outlet when I feel out of control with my life. I am terrified of not logging my food because I so badly want to lose weight.

I practice intuitive eating (basically add heaps of fruit and veggies to my meals, drink lots of water, I never drink soda because I hate it, only consume small sizes with treats, stop when I am full or feel I will go over caloric limits) and have been logging my food at the end of the day (which recently I have been logging with practically every bite instead of at the end of the day).

Due to my past (and current struggle) with unhealthy restricting, tracking, etc I was advised to stop tracking my food and just eat intuitively.

Am I still able to lose weight? I’m absolutely terrified of this notion but my husband and my therapist are strongly urging me to stop immediately. What do I do?
