Motivation and Support Needed

Hi, everyone! I made a post in the Introduce Yourself forum, but I figured I'd make another one here.
I'm here because I want to lose some holiday weight. However, it gets a little complicated because I've been suffering from eating disorders almost my entire life--it's just how I was raised, my family didn't know any better.
Anyway, I've been getting help from my therapist for the past year and a half, though I've been trying to get better on my own for at least five years. The thing is, it honestly scares me to try to lose weight because even when I have every intention on being healthy, it ends up turning badly.
So, I really want to do better this time. My therapist has me keeping a log of what I eat and when so we can work out a diet plan for me. But while I'm trying to lose these 10-20lbs that I've gained over the holidays, I would really appreciate some support and some help in noticing if I'm screwing up again, because a lot of the time I don't notice until I'm already in deep.
Thanks, and I wish all of you the best of luck with your own goals
