I don't even think I'm qualified to answer this because I do count calories and do pay attention to everything I put in my mouth. I don't think that in itself is necessarily bad. Of course I don't think I obsess about the numbers really. I just use it as a guide to help me make the best choices. However, if you are the type to obsess about it then I maybe I could make one suggestion. Put some blinders on. Don't look for big changes but look for little ones. Maybe use the tape measure once every two weeks. By the way, always measure in front of the mirror and pull snug but don't dent the skin. This is the best way to make sure you aren't pulling too tight and skewing your results. And do relax. You need to make this for the long hall. It's a marathon run not a sprint. Ya know what i mean?

Hope that helped at least some
