trying to get back on the wagon!

i've been away from this site & SBD in a major way for the last 2 weeks or so. i've posted before about this, but i've struggled with emotional eating/bingeing/purging in the past, but was doing really well when i started on SBD end of march. however, i went back to that for the last 2 weeks and ended up gaining about 5 lbs back (which i had lost while on SBD..so disappointing!).

i wanted to cry when i weighed myself this morning! but i've done a lot of thinking, and i think part of the reason i fell off the SBD wagon was because i was scared i'd actually reach my weight goal (i had 4 more lbs to go before i gained back the 5) and find that i still wouldn't be happy with myself or the way i look. i've been trying to work on the emotional side of things, but in the meantime i decided that TODAY will be the day i get back on track, phase 1 again!

has anyone else shared my experience or have any advice on dealing with emotional eating and not going back to that and undoing all the hard work? sometimes it's hard for me to be happy and "diet" because i start fixating on how it's not fair that i can't eat things that other people can, what's the point i'll always be fat, etc....then i completely lose it and binge! if anyone has resources for books to read, websites, etc. that has helped them, i'd love to know about them.

in the meantime, i'm hoping to stay motivated by reaching out for support here! thanks for "listening"..
