I have OCD/GAD. When I take my OCD/GAD pills regularily, I seriously have that "Rhett Butler" "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn attitude" re: numbers. I tossed the scale--only my doctor weighs me every few months. I go by my jeans. I just write down what I eat because I'm in the logging/charting habit and for IBS reasons. I had my meds. up'ed a little and it has really made a huge difference.
I just know, intuitively/innately that I can't/won't get fat. I trust myself completely to give myself exactly what I need. I think my biggest concern is making sure I get enough calories to meet my basal needs. Fear/anxiety really interferes with the appetite/hunger factor. So does eating alone. It really numbs/dulls/steals the appetite, more and more so lately. I have a rule, though...if my weight drops below a hundred pounds, then I institute a calorie counting program.
