    It sounds like you may need to speak to a professional (doctor/nurse/dietitian/nutritionist). If that is a current picture of you in your profile, you appear to be at a healthy weight. However, if you ARE actually gaining weight, then you’re simply eating more calories than you burn. Fat should not disturb you...everyone needs and has fat on them and there are many healthy fats to consume. Your weight
    shouldn’t occupy every thought. That’s a big sign of an eating disorder.

    You say you’ve been logging, but have you been using a good food scale for solids and measuring cups for liquids? This is imperative.

    Please do talk to your doctor or another professional about making an appointment. It will put yourself mind to rest.

    I agree that you need professional help. I did notice you had WLS three years ago, as well as problems with binge eating. We all have issues with food, but food and body weight seem very serious emotional issues in your case. Please find help.

    What's not working? How much more weight are you wanting to lose? Are you close to what is considered normal for your height? The last few pounds/kgs can be frustratingly slow to come off.

    THE WLS worked for me and I was down to 61 kd(not yet healthy BMI for my height) but over the last year... not changing anything except I certainly do get my calorie counts up to 1500 on a day I have to socialize. I have slowly gained 20Kg and gaining more that makes me 40%body fat and obese BMI

    If you're weighing everything have you double-checked the entries you're using for accuracy? Off entries could make you think you're eating less than you are.

    No, sorry. Increasing how many calories you eat per day will not result in weight loss.

    In your next post you say "but over the last year... not changing anything... I have slowly gained 20Kg". Surely something has changed. Barring a bizarre medical issue gaining weight is simply a result of eating too much.

    Well I guess I have now gone nitpicking through my foods to see if they are logging correct calories but if my day is completing at 950 calories say there is mistakes in there like maybe say add an extra 300 cals in that still takes me only to 1250 cals daily which is the recommendation for rapid weight loss

    Have you had blood work done in the last couple months? If you are actually weighing foods and logging correctly then maybe there is a medical problem.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through that, it must be stressing you out so much! If I were you, I'd go and seek professional help to see what the problem is. It sounds like you're doing things right, so maybe there is an underlying problem?
    I hope you'll be able to find out and fix it :)

    I second getting some blood work done or some testing. Because the issue is either your logging or a medical issue.

    I have had my bloods taken as I have always complained to my doctor it wasn't fair that I gain weight soo easy, they came back all good and my hormone count is back to normal as my hormones where non-existent when I was 61 KG
