<human>: I've heard many people list reasons they could never count calories or only eat 1200 a day (5'1 F here). One of them is that they worry they'll become obsessed with food. I realized today that I am obsessed with food. I spend a good deal of time planning out my next meal, thinking of how I'll spend my "Saturday calories" and rearranging my food log so I can squeeze a little bite of dessert in. I just measured out 30 grams of Mcdonald's Apple Pie like a crack head. But you know what? I'm down 60lbs as of today. I also realized that counting calories isn't what made me obsessed with food. I was obsessed long before I fully understood what a calorie was. Logging food is what has kept me accountable to myself.

My point is I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking about food. I resist most temptation and give in to them occasionally but I always log my splurges and I always meet my weekly calorie goal. My friends who haven't yet joined me in counting calories and worry they'll obsess over food: Don't. Counting calories is the solution. It's the only solution that's worked for me. I'd rather weigh and log every meal I eat than to gain those 60lbs back. Logging is a mild inconvenience at worst and there's no excuse when losing weight is really what you want.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
