getting back on track

in 2014 I started me weight loss journey! and loved it, went from over 400lbs down to 272lbs in about a year! everything was going great until I stopped dropping pounds! I was addicted to the scale and when I no longer saw the scale moving I went into a very serious depression, I have lost all faith in me, I have not weighted my self but If I was to guess i'd say I'm back into the 360 range :-( I really need to lose the weight again but my motivation is gone, when I step on that treadmill or elliptical or worse when i see my self in the mirror my self esteem just drops and I cant keep going, and to make it worse I'm having all kinds of pain that wasn't there before I even began my weight loss journey, has anybody else relapsed and gained much of the weight back??? why is it so hard to lose the weight again I remember when I first started in 2014 I would drop 10-15 lbs weekly now cant even drop 1 eating the same things I would eat before! and when I don't see any good results I binge! need help! maybe hearing some stories or support from other people might help!

I feel the same. You get demoralised after starting over so many times. Maybe you need a break until you feel 100% motivated again? I have been postponing my diet for a while now and I need to lose 44lbs until summer, feels daunting but now that the sunshine has returned I feel a lot more motivated to watch my weight and workout.
