How Can I Prevent Obsession With Watching Diet And Calories Affecting My Health?

Hello. I used to starve myself for a long time. I would eat anywhere between 0 to 500 calories a day in order to lose weight. In about two month I lost 30 lbs. Ever since then, I ve developed a unhealthy relationship with food, finding that if I ate a normal amount of food, I would gain weight. I m trying to figure out how I can maintain my weight and eat a normal amount of calories without gaining weight.

No need to fearful of food. Don't change your diet frequently. If you are unable to do it, consult a good psychiatrist. Best wishes...
