I started by weight loss journey 4 mos ago after not doing as much as weighing myself for years. I was a bit afraid of weighing myself and did not want another number to make me feel bad about myself.
Now I am weighing myself multiple times a day and rationalizing it as was to g to learn more about how things like time of day, hydration, bowel movements and such affect weight.
I am counting calories and it actually makes me feel accomplished. I used a calorie counting app and picked a weight loss plan that puts me at a small deficit every day for a slow, gradual weight loss. I have been making progress.
The thing is, I now feel highly uncomfortable NOT counting calories or not having a reliable way to know how many calories are in something, such as restaurant food or food I eat when I am visiting someone, or food from other cultures that may not exist in databases.
I’m going on vacation and I have a feeling it’s going to be hard, because very little of the food is going to self prepared or store bought.
Has anyone had this happen and if so, what helped you deal? I hope this sort of thinking and behavior is not a precursor to an eating disorder…
