 a thin perspective
I usually don't worry about my weight too much, but if the pounds start to creep on then I get obsessive. I will just not be hungry for a couple of days or too busy to eat much and my portion sizes go way down. I start thinking about what my next diet will be and planning in detail all the healthy food I will be eating and spend a bit of time researching recipes, shopping, cleaning out the fridge and pantry, etc. Also I start to look for opportunities to add a little exercise. And I weigh myself about every day at normal weight, but sometimes several times a day when the numbers creep up a bit. Sometimes when I am debating whether to eat something or not I will think "If the number on the scale is under X, then I will eat it."
Good luck dalante! Just being mindful is the biggest challenge.
Also, before buying a book on Amazon I always read all the 1 and 2 star reviews so I can see what the biggest complaints are.
