Is it normal to think about my weight this much?

I am aware im overweight but i've always thought I was overweight.

I go through periods of acceptance and denial about it.

I check the calorie content of everything I eat and get rather annoyed by products that dont have that information.

Though I eat little what I do eat is usually rather sugary.
I know exactly why I'm big and I want to change it.

But depression gets in the way and I lack all motivation so any weight I loose goes straight back on again.

I am constantly checking myself.
Looking in the mirror, weighing myself and measuring myself.

I remember not eating for a week and feeling so guilty when I started eating again. Like I had failed or cheated.

    I'm really skinny and i do this. It's normal to want to be healthy. There is nothing wrong with the way look though, I'm sure. I would start by, hiding the scales, it wont help your confidence. Eat natural foods, organic, and go on walks, ride your bike and work on things that need to be done, daily. Give yourself some time, be patient with yourself, and it will happen. Tell yourself every mornig something positive to keep your motivation up, be persistant, it will benefit you. Good luck and stay positive.

    Why do you check yourself? Why do you worry?! Everyone is beautiful in there own way! If there are people that make you feel this way then they should just shoosh! x

    If you can affor to eat only Weight Watchers products, they have a points value up at the top corner and depending on your weight depends on how many points you should eat per day to lose weight. You can find that info if you google it.
