Unexpected results of weight loss

I ended up with a Vitamin B-12 deficiency. To help lose weight, I reduced my intake of red meat, and I can't digest dairy. Red meat and dairy are main sources of B-12. Now, I take B-12 supplements, so my levels are back to normal levels.

How I am feeling more and more depressed that I lost 259 lbs originally and now am creeping back up the scale. IN the last year, gaining 30lbs and feeling like I've failed my doctor, my partner and myself.

You haven't failed anyone. you're doing what you're supposed to do! It's hard when your body doesn't cooperate. One thing that helped me when I stopped losing, was upping my protein. Not saying that's what you need--but maybe something similar is going on with you? Someone else mentioned their B12 was deficient. Maybe you need to take a look at WHAT you're eating as well as how much?

I'm sorry you're struggling. I hope you and maybe your doctor can figure it out.
