I’m not exactly trying to lose weight, (I’m 16 years old, 5’3 and somewhere between 97 and 101 pounds depending on the scale) but I have an OBSESSION with calories and weight loss. I always keep track of the exact number of calories I eat, and I always burn an even 350 at the gym every day. I calculate in my head how many calories other people are eating and burning, and get concerned when they don’t eat enough or eat too much. I don’t know why I’m so obsessed but it’s taken a toll on my life. (example: I try reading a book and get distracted because I think about how many calories I’m burning by turning the pages.. etc.) How do I get over this strange habit?

I believe it’s called obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a psychiatric disorder (more specifically, it is an anxiety disorder) most commonly characterized by a person’s obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or “rituals”) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions. Thus it is an anxiety disorder. If indeed it’s interfering with your everyday life you might want to seek professional help. Your family doctor is the place to start. He can refer you to someone with real answers and help. I have an unreasonable fear of heights. I Don’t like it but it doesn’t effect my ability to work or sleep or lead an otherwise normal life so I haven’t seen the need to seek help. But one thing I did realize is that I would be unable to conquer it on my own and if it did become debilitating I would not hesitate to get help. Once you pinpoint what triggered this behavior , treatment options will be much easier to decide. Please understand, I’m not a doctor or a psychologist so I may be way off here. Only a health care professional can properly diagnose and treat illnesses. Good luck. I hope this gives you a place to start.
