What do I do to curb my fantasies so I make sure not to get discouraged?

Also, I've always liked looking at clothing online, so do you think that will still be okay?

My Neptune opposes my Moon. Does this mean I take my daydreams more personally?

I used to be really fat (until I was 18), and I lost a lot of weight. I actually developed a really bad eating disorder (which I still have) because I was too obsessed.

When you start dieting, the weight melts off quickly for the first little while, but it slows down later on. I was eating almost nothing and exercising all the time, but I never lost 50 pounds in one month!! The most I ever lost was about 15 in a month, I think..

Anyway, when I was overweight, I'd always look at online stuff I'd daydream about what I'd wear when I was thin. That was my main motivation, actually. Now I'm super thin, and shopping is much more fun!

Well! I've lost over fifteen pounds and I've been able to stick to my new diet (it's a whole diet change, not just temporary for weight loss) but I'm obsessing over weight loss. I originally changed my diet so I'd feel better but I was so stunned by my weight loss that I focus a lot of attention on it. And also I'm getting carried away with my imagination and looking at new clothes online that I'd like to see myself in. I still have a long way to go, but I've also convinced myself that I'd be able to lose over 100 pounds in about two months... I lose about 2 to 3 pounds a day and I lightly work out. I'm not consuming a lot of calories but I read that as long as my diet is balanced and nutritious that it doesn't really matter, so no comments on that, please.

I have four planets in the sixth house and usually obsess over my health anyway. (Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury)

I have to just come out and say this cuz my conscience won't let me go mute on it.

Frankly, no offense but if you try to drop that much weight during that brief of a time-frame, it might...kill you.

How did you conclude that it wasn't water weight? That is was fatty weight that you were losing. Tell me. Am curious.

Its a fact that losing weight so easily is because you lose water weight, I agree with Jess.
The only way to know if you're losing weight or water is to have one of these machines that show the percentage of fat in your body, the percentage of water etc,, and weigh yourself regularly with that and check of you do lose fat or water.

Just keep in mind the models are professionals and it is their job to basically starve themselves to make the clothes look the way the manufacturers want them to look.
