Over the last two years I have gained a considerable amount of weight due to medication and being depressed. Recently I had decided that I want to lose it and get back to a slim figure. So this past week I have been really watching what I eat.

However, there's a problem. I can feel myself becoming obsessed. I have had disordered eating in the past - not full blown ana but it did consume a big part of my life - and I can feel it creeping back into being on my mind all the time.

I think when I start focusing on diet and exercise I really adopt it to be my identity almost and then I can go really far with it. I'm such an all or nothing person.

Can anyone else relate to this? And how do you deal with losing weight in a healthy non obsessive way. 

I have the urge to start doing the exercises and running up and down my stairs, but I have to stop myself
