i am struggling with eating healhty right now too. going to see a nuitritionist on wednesday. i have always been overweight as in obese, cant buy clothes at a regular store overweight. i can finally fit in an xl now and for health reasons need to eat better. i thrive on carbs, sugar, chocolate, ice cream and processed foods. i dont cook. the microwave is my best friend. due to my abusive past, it seems i have issues around food and my therapist has now diagnosed me with an eating disorder. i dont eat all day, but i binge at night. trying to eat healthy, i focus on the calories and like you said, i become obsessed. so i cant do that either. so now i just eat any time i want, but intead of junk, i eat real food. i plum here, a yogurt there, a pork chop, a banana, i precooked all this stuff and put it in single serving containers and froze it so i dont have to measure or anything. i just pull it out and nuke it. salad is so low in calories, particularly spinich that i can eat a giant bowl of it and it doesnt matter. or watermelon. so i work on finding this healthy stuff that is low in calories so if i binge on it it doesnt really matter. i dont know if this was particularly helpful. my philosophy is, if you are going to be bad, do it in a good way.
