Rules, pictures, etc. serve as references. How do you know what "eat less" means unless you know what portion sizes are and how calorie-dense the food is? How do you know what "exercise more" means if you're not maintaining a sense of exertion and time spent moving?
Decoupling weight from radical self-judgment and assignments of worth, yes, I think that's a fine idea. But if it takes being a little crazy to be fit...I'd say go for crazy. Your body and mind will both thank you in 20, 30, 40, 50 years.
