    That could be a good thing so long as you use that frustration to fuel your drive to get the weight back off.. just don't turn the anger inward.

    My past gains are some of the best things that happened to my weight loss effort. Without them I wouldn't be able to identify some things that can potentially jeopardize my future maintenance and the severity of their impact. Why would you hate yourself for being a human going through a learning process?

    It is a difficult and painful cycle. For a lot of people food is a drug just like cocaine, alcohol, or tobacco. There are studies that show similar reactions in the brain for some with sugar and cocaine. Point I'm getting at is, people use/eat food because they hate themselves and then they hate themselves because they ate the food. Telling someone to just buck up and do something about it is akin to telling any other addict, just quit. Its a process and at the root of it all is reminding yourself that you are worthy of love. You're worthy of happiness. Its perfectly okay to cycle through anger, sadness, joy, etc. in your weight loss journey. Everyday is a new day, every meal is a new meal, yesterday is over and tomorrow isn't here. Best of luck in your journey of learning to love yourself.

    What it's worth depends on what you're implying :smile:
