You're NOT alone, believe me ... don't give up though. You sound so much like me but I am not giving up ... I can't control a lot of things that go on in my life but what I put into my mouth is my choice, no one else's and I try to remember that each day. When I feel like I'm stressed or my day to day life is too much for me to handle, I always remind myself that I have the last say in what I'm going or not going to eat and I just have to remind myself that I AM STRONG AND I WILL LOSE WEIGHT!!! You can do it, you just need to be your own cheer leader sometimes! 

I know the feeling. I did so good for almost 4 weeks, then Sun. and Monday I had some birthday cake, and I'm struggling. I sarted back today, and I'm telling you, it's just NOT WORTH IT to stray. Fight the temptation until you get that sugar out of your system AGAIN, that's what I'm doing today, and it's rough. I'm getting ready to take the dogs for a walk just to get my mind off of it. We'll do it.
