Taking your new life style seriously and monitoring and tweaking is one thing, which is very healthy.

The obsession I understood from the first posts is minute by minute. To me this describes many of our newbies who give up because they didn't lose any weight between breakfast and lunch, and trust me, many people do that.

If you do a search on this forum, you will see many members who gave up because they gained 1/2 lbs within the day, which is basically due to drinking water alone! This is the obsession that will jeapordize your progress and make you quite.

Deligince and strict observation of your plan is nothing more than sincere commitment. To me that's not obsession, and is nothing to compare with the minute by minute, second by second obsession that LC Sponge is talking about, and which I've seen on display many times on our forum.

I guess obsession is in the eyes of the beholder
