<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Ii have recently been calorie counting, along with exercising nearly ever day. In 4 weeks I have lost almost 6lbs and I hope to lose at least 8lbs more.  However, each week I became more and more obsessed with food.  I should mention I have had an eating disorder in the past so I am pretty familiar with all this.  The thing is, calorie counting is really the only thing that works for me.  It gives me clear guidelines to follow and always gets results.  But I am done with losing and gaining weight. I want this to be a lifestyle change.  I obviously will not continue to calorie count for life, but want to continue until I lose the weight and maintain for a while.  

Does anyone have any tips for not getting obsessed with food and numbers while losing weight, while STILL counting?  This past week I've literally been thinking about food 24/7 and it was getting embarrassing! [For example, a friend talks to me about her weekend and all I'm interested in is what she ate.] My only ideas on what I can change is to stop counting veggies and fruits.  I always make sure to have at least a piece of chocolate so I don't feel deprived, but clearly, I am still feeling deprived.  I find myself roaming the grocery store isles looking for something I can numb out on and eat a large quantity of.  The past 2 days have resulted in a binge of over 9000 cals.  I need something to change!! 

Just in case, here's a breakdown of my diet:
Breakfast: cup of yogurt with an apple
Lunch: broccoli, 100 cal curry, 5 egg whites, 2 dill pickles, a piece of chocolate, a packet or two of rice crackers, and soup
Snack: english muffin with cheese
Dinner: Anything goes. I usually have 200-300 cals left over so I eat another serving of broccoli and curry or an ice cream. usually something sweet.
TOTAL: 1200 cals
<bot>: I;d love some ideas/advice for helping me turn down the food noise and continue to make this a lifestyle change, not just a pre-binge period.
