This is a strange question i have been asking myself for a very long time...but i seriously think maybe if it didn't cause my problem, it definatly sped up the process!
I got my laptop on my 16th birthday, and was addicted from the beginning! I loved the fact i had access to the whole world on my own little device in my own room, :D i also got the sims 3 game with it and got stupidly addicted for a few weeks (yes a bit sad i know lol) but during that time i ate without thinking (the way you do in front of the TV) And was always snacking on birthday chocolates, and soon became quite unhappy with my weight - i wasn't fat, no way near actually, just not rock chick, kate moss, gorgeous sexy thin.
I innocently started researching how to loose a bit of weight, healthy lunch ideas, good excercise tips etc, which was helpful! But then i realised i could get the calorie count for practically EVEYTHING on the internet, and started to become a bit obsessive about my intake.
I would look a models, cakes, chocolate and pizza on google images - you know theres something wrong when your flicking through the 'food porn' page for hours, basically if your looking at stuff that even you know is a bit odd to look at then you know theres a problem!
Now i would be sceptical about the internet 'making me worse' but i went away to scotland for 2 weeks without ANY internet access, and honestly, i ate like a normal person again....no fear or worries (i mean i had a few moments) but just eating a good, normal amount when i was hungry and the occasional treat was fine by me! But as soon as i go my internet back again i got obsessive again :-/ maybe all his technology isn't so good for us after all?

You might be right! Before I got my own computer, I was losing healthily(about half a year) and after I got it, I also found this calorie counting stuff. Before I was just trying not to eat much greasy stuff/desserts/chocolates and exercised a little every night - it was working! I'm sad it turned out this way. I remember so well how I looked 1200 kcal diet menus from net and thought how much it is, funny, I eat twice as much now though. (:
JMU. xxx
I did that too! I looked at the 1200 calorie menu's and had that horrible powerfull feeling that i was eating so much less than that, i couldn't survive on even 1200 now!!
