Obsessing over points?

I've been on WW for about three months now and have lost 20 pounds. I'm super happy with my progress and love my new eating habits. I have a lot to lose (well over 100 pounds) so this is going to be a long, steady journey.

I hesitated going on WW because I am so incredibly skeptical of the diet culture - companies profiting off of body image issues, labelling foods good and bad, unhealthy restrictions, etc. However, I knew I needed to make a change for my health - not my looks - and needed to learn what my body actually needs to thrive.

I'm at the point though where I am worried I am too fixated on points. My mind becomes a calculator from morning to night planning my food out, eating more processed snacks than I normally would to replicate indulges, and becoming anxious about going out.

I am so worried that this might become too much of an obsession, but this is all finally working for my body. Sorry for the ramble.... has anyone encountered this?
