    Focus on what you want and do what you have to do to get there. If it helps you, write down your plan, including how you feel when you are and aren't in your routine and what you will do when faced with a craving for bad stuff (i.e. eat fruit or go for a walk instead of giving in to a craving). I've soooo been in your shoes and have realized that I'm really much happier overall when I am eating right and working out. Just decide to TAKE control then do it!
    Good luck.

    It's your relationship with food...I think. It's not a healthy one. Self help books or therapy would probably help. It could be that as you come close to your goal you feel the need to sabatoge your efforts. Could you have a fear of success or failure? There are many reasons why you may have these extreme feelings. It sounds like something is triggering you, but it is difficult to sort through this kind of thing on your own.
