The last ten lbs... AGAIN

So previously I have lost weight going from 111+ to my goal of 95 and then to 92.
Unfortuantley, I did a magority of the loss by eating too little. I then attempted to reestablish my metabolism and got too carried away ( feeling as though I had had an ED, I justified over indulging)

This landed me back at 106 - currently 105.
Once again, I am ten lbs away from goal and feel so frustrated with myself, wishing I had stayed where I had been rather than gaining what feels like so much.

Now, I must admit I do have a healthier, more positive outlook and I do (thankfully) lack the irrational drive to be soo skinny (I now view my once "goal" as too thin and emaciated looking)

Despite my gain of more a realistic expectation and more rational outlook, the gain on the scale bothers me immensely.

Help?

Sorry for the pity party,
TFF

    How tall are you? do you know your body fat %?

    It sounds to me like you're aiming to be at a weight you were at before you were done growing. Which isn't realistic.

    How tall are you?

    Are you still in counseling for this? Do you think maybe going after such a low body weight is not good? Maybe being around 100-110 is actually better?

    Have you considered strength/resistance training to focus on body recomposition instead of obsessing over a scale goal?

    ETA: you also stated in another post that you were at 104lbs and felt/looked better than before. What happened?
