    It wouldn't annoy me, and apparently, given my track record, doesn't annoy the people on my friends' list either. I'd presume they'd defriend me if it did.

    It's an ongoing process, and people who "backslide" probably need the support more than those who just lose continuously.

    I think some level of yo-yoing is not uncommon. In the past there were periods of feast and famine and the folks who could pack on the pounds were the ones who made it through the sparse times. So it's not optimal, but probably to be expected, that you will sometimes gain some weight back.

    Unlike other "addictions," food addicts cannot cut all the food out of their lives, so it is much tougher to control. Someone who's addicted to alcohol can give it up cold turkey and in fact it's viewed as a really bad idea to let a recovering alcohol addict have any alcohol at all. Yet food addicts have to have some food. So it's probably the toughest addiction to deal with.
