New Here and could use some support.

So here's my background:

About 4 or 5 years ago I gained 20 pounds pretty quickly (I was 130 and ended up 150). Around this time I started to get some pretty bad insomnia that always matched up on the days I would work out. Even if I worked out at 5:30 am, I would still wake that night 10-12 times leaving me with no good chunks of sleep. When I went to the Doc he discovered that I had Fatty Liver and told me that I had to lose 15 pounds to get rid of it. I spent the whole Summer not working out, but eating a very low fat diet and I got back to my 130 in about 4 months.

About 2 years ago I got pregnant, didn't gain much weight, and was down to 125 right after having the baby. I was STARVING trying to breastfeed her. I had to eat 8 times a day and I just kept losing weight. All of a sudden, when she was 3 months old, I went back to eating 3 or 4 times a day, put on 15 pounds in about 2 weeks, and I have since just continued to gain weight since then. I now weigh more than I did while I was pregnant and I get asked everywhere I go if I'm pregnant again. I look and feel disgusting. It doesn't help that I'm back to not being able to work out or I wake 10-12 times a night again. At least now I have a doctor who is running tests to see if I have some sort of hormonal issues, but so far we haven't found pinpointed the problem.

I need to do something! I know that I'm eating terribly because I go after what's easy or whatever I'm craving. I'm home all day so I can get whatever food I want while I'm out or make it at home if I'm really craving it and I love to bake. There's always cookie dough in the fridge, or brownies on the counter. I have lost all self control when it comes to food! Because of the workout issues, I know the key to losing weight is going to have to be reducing my food intake and eating healthier.

Any support or suggestions would be super helpful. I guess it was easier before when a doctor was telling me that i HAD to lose weight.
