You call it unconsciousness, I like to call it laziness or making excuses. (nothing personal, I've been there many times) It's Life.

It's time take responsibility for it... and passing it off as unconscious eating isnt doing that.

You need to say "I am responsible for this"

No matter the obstacles, if we let the weight come back, own it, then take charge and turn it around

If you do gain weight by overeating you know you are overeating and you know you are gaining weight there is nothing unconscious about it. You are just ignoring the facts and going ahead and overeating anyway.

The whole point of MFP is that logging, checking in, reading the forums, getting friends and taking on board all the great advice here helps to keep you mindful about your eating habits. Which helps you to rein it back in if it starts getting out of hand.

How often do you weigh yourself while losing weight?
Do you stop?
Why?

Are you logging your food now that you're losing weight?
Will you stop when you've lost it?
Why?

Do you eat a certain way now that you're losing weight?
Will you change the way you're eating when you've lost the weight?
Why?

Are you seeing weight loss as a time period where you make some changes that are different and hard and that by doing them you will get to a place called maintenance at which time you will stop doing all these hard and different things you've been doing during weight loss?
Why do you think this will work?

Do you try to lose fast by "white knuckling" and going hungry hungry hungry because it is only for a short little while.... and then wonder why you're ready to EAT ALL DA FOODZ as soon as something breaks your focus?

What did you do the first two times to lose the weight? What happened/did you do to stop losing and regain?

Are you doing the same thing now or trying something different?

You learn about your self. You learn what worked and didn't work. You take the good. You build on it. You try again! <-- just try and make things EASY for you. A deficit you can tolerate. Food choices that you may not be over-joyed about but you're also not actively hating. Exercise and activities that you can see yourself doing today, tomorrow, in five years, and even in ten years. Same goes for the food choices you make!

@saynow111 So much of this stuff is mental. Deep grooves in the brain, neural pathways don't like change. In a nutshell and not the whole bushel, after all of the dieting is done the brain starts believing it's fixed. Everything is fixed. Rebound weight gain with friends will never show up on our doorstep again. We fall right back into our old eating patterns and may start eating on automatic pilot by remote control. Weight starts stacking back on like a freight train or it may come on slowly.

We can learn to moderate ourselves with food. It will require focus, focus, focus for at least two years or more. You can do your own research for percentage stats, how many are still maintaining a large weight loss at the two year mark. Falling right back into our old ways. Doing what we've always done will get us what we've always gotten.
Rebound weight gain with friends. Stay alert. Keep your head engaged in every step of the process.

Definitely laziness and excuses for me. This is my fourth bout of losing weight in the last 10 years. Not sure how I managed to to reach 15st 3 but here we go again.

In my life I call it a blind spot. It is basically denial. I do not want to face the outcome of my decisions so I try to avoid looking directly at the problem. For you it might be a blind spot because you lost weight in a way that is not sustainable or modifiable for maintenance. Perhaps you were too strict with yourself or denied yourself treats so when the weight loss ended you returned to a happier style of eating management. I do not know that to be the case but "all or nothing" is a common problem and one I have had to get over myself.

It is also a blind spot, for me, because many of the characteristics I applied to other areas of my life I did not apply to my efforts to lose weight. I can be an incredibly patient person but I was never patient trying to lose weight until recently.

The food is so good I just lose my mind. I have been reading me some notes I put in my phone as weird as that sounds to remind me and I read them before I eat or get weak like You can't have it both ways, you want to fit in your clothes, you will be sorry later!

I think stop finding excuses get off your butt and stay strong, focus on recording your food to stay on track there is no quick fix it has to be a life changing one, there see ups and downs days you give in but days you get back to it, its life roll with it.
