Thank you everyone for the support.
As you may be able to see...I'm doing terribly lately.
I've decided that two things I've been doing are triggering this worse behavior.
1. Drinking again. My behavior was like this previously and that's why I gave up drinking. So I'm resuming no drinking. Drinking does make me feel less left out but I overdue it and then I eat bad when I have hangovers...happens every time. Alcohol also worsens my depression which also makes me want to over eat.
2. Fasting. I might try half day fasts once n awhile but fasting for 3 days is looking like it backfires on me because I tend to binge afterwards. I'm going to not try an entire day fast again for a long time.
I'm frustrated that I think I most likely gained 7lbs...and it will take over a month to come off...but i'm just going to wait patiently and read books on binging and wait out my loss.
I've learned from experience that being impatient about weight loss and trying to rush things usually backfires...I'm just going to have to accept my mistake and see the damn scale looking high for a long time now.
Thank you again all for your support and encouragement during my major screw up.

Depression is real and not just a screw up. You stated you were seeing a counselor, I hope you continue. We all know you can do this, but an additional support is definitely needed. May you continue on a positive path with the help of all who are positive influences in your life.

We all screw up and as long as you (we) know our “issues/triggers”, we get back up and move forward. Don’t dwell on what happened or look back!👍🏻 You got this😊

I do IF (18/6) Window of 1pm-7pm. I do occasionally break IF if a "Social" or "Work" calls for it...but most days...folks don't notice ...if I do not eat. Same with drinks...well maybe the bartender knows...that I am not drinking...and I have heard of so many people who drink ...can and do...carefully...so keep your mind open...to ALL good ideas! You are more than back on track...you are here with your wisdom and experiences. Just keep coming here..🥰

Sharon, you've put your finger on what's going on and wise to forgo alcohol. The combined effect of a depressant that reduces inhibitions is a setup for overeating. You've got a clear picture of the problem, and you're taking positive action in abstaining from alcohol at this point. This cannot help but improve your mood and your discipline where food is concerned. I know it's so difficult! We're with you!

Sounds good to me! (not that it matter, if it sounds good to *you* is what matters). I see a lot of acceptance and humility in those decisions... Don't forget to be grateful! So many things: (1) Still down 90 pounds (wow!) (2) You are healthy and have your vision, hearing, and mobility (3) You have family and friends... I could go on and on...

Don't beat yourself up. Don't go looking for a quick fix. Do what you have been doing. Just get back on it. When I was in the military, I had what I called my baseline. once I held the same weight for 3 days, that became my baseline. Adjust as needed. Weight loss is a trail of identifying the situation and adapting to it. From what I read in your other posts, you know what needs to be done. You got this. Just do what you do.

Be thankful that this very short term set back may have helped change some long term detrimental habits. I know that I am just a few bad decisions away from having the same thing happen to me...no one ever has it figured out to the point that they can ignore the good habits that gave them any success. Hope that you are looking back on this chapter in a year's time and being very thankful, take care!!

Go relax alone at the beach for a day, lying in the sun and strolling along the waterfront. Go rock that bikini in it's natural habitat, without trying to get picked up. Just think your own thoughts, be at peace with the past, and look forward. You know what to do; you have done what you need to do; you will continue to do what you need to do. Be at peace with the present and future, too.
