Well you seem normal enough to me. Like I said, only you and a doctor can truly judge whether you're struggling with an unhealthy obsession or just keenly interested in and dedicated to a hobby of health. Given what I have heard from you and about this group, I'd lean toward the latter.

Today one of the women who told me I'm obsessed asked me how this new diet is going. Although I've lost a happy amount of weight, I just said, "it's going really well" and left it at that. She didn't ask for more details. I think I'll continue to keep my dieting endeavors to myself from now on.

That's about my standard response. If someone presses for more information, and my family (they get to put up with me going on and on ) I will definitely give more information, but usually, it's just easier and less stressful to just say it's going well and leave it at that.

By nature I'm pretty obsessive about certain things so when people call me obsessed, I tell them their probably right but obsessed has worked for me to lose "xx" amount of pounds. It doesn't phase me at all!
