With a diagnosis like this, where anything can turn into a delusional obsession, how do so many sz people manage to count calories and stay sane?
I’m not touchint calorie tracking with a ten foot pole, because I’d get right into obsession.
It might be due to my previous disordered eating.
But seriously, how do yall count calories without getting eating disorders?
I don’t count calories. 
I allow myself a certain amount of calories a day.
I’m not starving myself.
It’s the quality of foods I consume not necessarily the amount.
But if you suffer with a eating disorder I can see how counting your calories can become a problem.
I don’t suffer from an eating disorder.
It’s kind of like a hobby, it gives me something to do.
Counting calories is not necessary to losing weight.
Well I mean, if I had to keep track of what foods I consumed had what amount of calories, things wouldn’t end well for me
I think if you feel it would trigger an eating disorder then you shouldn’t do it.
For me I just treat it like I’m logging my food intake.
Plus this time around I’m consuming a comfortable amount of calories so it doesn’t feel like a diet. I’m losing weight slowly instead of quickly.
I count calories and stay pretty sane… My problem is I don’t tend to get habits so it’s hard for me to get into that habit
I only count sunday till thursday, the weekends I don’t. To be fair I barely need to count anymore since I already know what to eat and what not to
I found counting calories too difficult. You have to weigh everything for it to be accurate.
Definitely use an app and do it as you go. Maybe after you eat it?
If you work out one weeks diet regimen and use a calorie tracking app, you can have great certainty of about how much you are eating.
We pretty much can eat the same meals all the time in a weekly basis, so count calories for a week and then stop using the app. In this way you know roughly what you are eating.
