Obsessed with my weight

Destiny

I'm not sure if anyone else is like this but I'm obsessed with my weight! I check it daily and since drinking sugary drinks it's gone from 9.7 to 10.6 which according to my BMI check it's a perfect weight for me but I don't like it and want it back to 9 or preferably 8. So I've cut the sugary drinks out and am exercising like mad each day to get it back down.

I never thought of this as an obsession until today.

    Weight is only a crude estimate of your health so if your drive is to be healthy then you should be looking more towards the body fat percentage, which you can calculate at home:

    I'm concerned as to why you are chosing such a low BMI target for yourself. Was this recommended by a health professional or just a number you thought sounded good?

    Just aiming for a BMI number without reference to a meaningful measure of health raises red flags of eating disorders which can be very damaging to your health.

    If you are serious about health then get a consultation with a nutritionist who can use euquipment to measure your body fat and muscle percentages accurately and give you a diet plan that helps you shape your body in the way you want while keeping it healthy

    My GP is pleased with my current weight. The weight I was before was close to underweight but it was still a healthy weight. I think it's my dislike of change that bothers me most about this, though I do have a dietician who I've got an appointment with Thursday and she's going to help me with this.
