I'm becoming obsessive about my diet and losing weight. - Weight Loss Message Board

Hi all, Happy Valentines day!

Here's my story...I'm female 38, 130lbs. I've (up until last year) never had a problem with weight, always weighed in at 112-118. I quit smoking 7-03 and then ate rather than smoked. I want to be around 120ish size 5. (I've always been size 3, but I think that is too thin) I feel huge, and have changed my way of eating..I'm eating around 1000-1200 cals a day..all I want to do is eat, I'm in the kitchen constantly, and slapping my hands the whole way back out.
Today for example I had 2 egg whites and a cup of coffee
For lunch I had tomato soup with green beans and 4 fat free crackers, 1 cup of green tea.
I want to munch, munch, munch... is it ok if I munched on fresh brocolli, or had a salad? It's only been 1 hour and I want to eat again. Are there ok foods I can munch on every hour on the hour? I feel obsessive about eating right to lose this 10 lbs and want to curb my hunger also.
I do exercise 3-4 times a week also.
It's like I'm always looking at the clock "Can I eat yet?" I'm going to have a glass of v-8 with flax seeds at 3:00 and an apple, maybe a couple triscuits.
Anyone else feel obsessive about losing weight? This is driving me crazy!

I've decided to solve my problem the non-healthy but effective way...they sell "mini-thins" at one of the gas stations in town..Legal speed. I'm going to have to go get them today..whatever works!!

My friend took mini-thins and had a heart attack at 27. Do you really want to risk your health just to lose a few pounds?

as far as I'm concerned anyone who turns to chemicals sold at a gas station and puts their life at risk to lose a few pounds needs to stop worrying about their diet and seek psychological counselling. you obviously have some serious psychological issues to put your life at risk for a couple of pounds.

The only psychologically healthy reason to lose weight is to increase your health (both for today and in the years to come.) Taking mini-thins will not increase your health but put it at complete risk.

Imagine you take these mini thins and end up with a heart murmur and have to stop dieting and exercising all together for a while and end up putting on 15 pounds.

my personally opinion is that people who try to cheat the process using medically unsupervised drugs are probably so stupid that whatever benefits to their life they are seeking to gain from losing a few pounds won't be enough to make up for whatever mess their life is in because of their stupidity. If people are so dumb as to take these drugs, odds are they are making hundreds of other dumb decisions in other areas of their life as well.

sorry for being harsh here, i just think it is really really stupid risking a heart attack to lose a few pounds.

Ok, now that I have your attention, could I please have my question answered? I was wondering if I could munch on veggies all day to curb my hunger...sometimes when you get ignored you will take drastic measures..I won't take minithins if I'm offered healthier alternatives.
