I agree completely.
I am a "3 squares a day" type of girl and find that I too can get obsessive when I put it in my mind to eat several times a day. Sometimes I need a mid-morning snack, but most of the time I function much better when I don't have to worry about eating all the time. I think it's just part of the disordered eating that got me here in the first place.
Really, do what works for you. If it's easier to keep within your calorie range by eating 3-4 times a day instead of 5-6, then do it.
ETA: Also, Lady Phoenix, you're going to read all kinds of stuff that says, "this is recommended for optimal weightloss", but it's ok if that isn't what works for you. There is no one single perfect way for everyone to lose weight.
