It feels like I have a lot of doubt making it to my goal weight. A healthy range for me 5"6 ranges between 115-155lbs. 10 weeks ago, I was 162..seeing me so close to that healthy BMI. Then, I crash. I have a few good days and then crash one day. It seems like an endless cycle. I have a huge binge eating problem that just seems like I can't stop. I'm fighting through all these emotions of sadness, stress, guilt, doubt, confusion, and so forth. I'm seeking professional help right now and just hope and pray it helps me. Through this entire process..I've gained back 15lbs. I just need that boost. I WANT to keep going. :cry: I'm sick of the way I look @ 175lbs and feel about it. I want to feel happy, desired, like I can look good in anything.

    Just know that you are not alone! I have a similar problem with binge eating, and when I do it I always feel horrible afterwards, because I have let myself down.

    My biggest problem is evenings. I do really well all day, and then when I get home alone its so easy to just keep eating and eating. It definitely makes me feel horrible about myself, which actually makes me want to eat more. I get to a place in my head where I say what's the point of trying to diet when I'm not good enough to do it.

    You have made so much progress so far though! You can keep going, you just have to find a way that works for you again. Try making a post on here if you feel like you are about to binge eat, maybe acknowleding what you are about to do will help.

    Its hard, and the worst part is the only thing holding you back is your own mind (I know mine holds me back to all the time!). But you WILL get there. Maybe not as quickly as you would have liked, but it will happen.

    Hang in there. Slip ups happen to everyone. The last 4 months I spent more time OFF track than on......I have just started getting back on track and doing well again.
