Eating healthy, cutting back, watching myself, never, ever worked for me - LONGTERM.
Counting calories provides me with much needed forced limits. There is nothing to stop me from taking in more calories then I require if I don't set a pre-determined amount. Counting calories keeps my food intake in check. Otherwise, there'd be nothing stopping me from eating an extra this or an extra that. Even if it's just an apple. It's an extemely important health/weight "tool" IMO.
