Obsession; Is it really worth it?

Alright so one can say I am a bit of an expert when it comes to exercising/dieting. I've done the seven day cabbage soup diet, went through the only eat fruits and vegetables phase and of course I ate only six small meals a day for quite awhile. I've been an avid runner,(just finished my first marathon) roller bladder, aerobics attendee as well as own quite a collection of yoga, kick boxing and Pilate at home videos.

But is weighing yourself everyday and obsessing over every calorie and pound really worth it? Lately I've given up on the overly intense dieting and exercise regime. Really I've found out I'm a lot happier,healthier and relaxed. (Believe it or not, my belly has not bulged out 10 inches and I can still fit into my skinny jeans,even though I've incorporated cookies into my diet.)

So how about ditching the super strict dieting and exercising. Take a walk, ride your bike, do sit-ups;but not because you have to, but because it really is fun. (And,have a cookie,or two, because it's worth it!)
