Yesterday, I went to see my psychiatrist, and I told him that I've lost ## kg in ## weeks, eating ## calories a day and exercising. I'm not feeling tired or anything, and I'm able to study for exams. God is kind.
I know that eating ## calories a day and exercising for an hour or more most days isn't healthy, but I'm obsessed with getting down to ## kg, which is the low end of an acceptable BMI for my height (##cms/##). And of course, when I do get to my target, I don't know if I'll be able to stop losing weight.
I told my psychiatrist that, but he just said "get used to accepting compliments". Earlier in the week, I spoke to my pastor about this because I feel like I'm engaging in idolatry. He remarked that if he told me to stop doing what I'm doing, I wouldn't. That I'd be willing to disobey an elder rather than stop my bid for weight loss.
I really don't know how to deal with this.
Thoughts?
