I feel "fat". Yes, I used that word. I know its not PC, but its how I feel.

I've gained back 6 lbs. of what I lost and am so so so frustrated with myself and my inability to say "no" when I am upset.
IIRC you have lost at least 30 pounds. gaining 6 back leaves you with 24 still gone. I know it's frustrating. Gaining back 20% would ruin anyone's day. I know the struggle with emotional eating. Recovery (it's an addiction) is difficult. I hope you don't mind my calling it an addiction. I mean to use that word without any sense of stigma or moralizing. Also I cannot type tonight, lol. Prolly a sign I shouldn't be replying to threads this late.

Please, Dear God, wish me luck with this latest project. I am so out of my depth. Thank you all. x *hug
I'm not God by any definition, but I will wish you luck too. It's when we get out of our comfort zone that we grow.

You may be over stressed if you feel too far out of your depth. I have this feeling often. I felt it at work today. I dunno any details of your project, but I could listen if that will help

Having a moment of calm normality and feeling relatively OK. Don't know how long it will last. I went to bed early and had another bad night, my stomach churning came back and was quite bad, but the associated anxiety is on a scale of 6/10 rather than the 10/10 it was last weekend, which is progress. I got up at 8am as another tradesman said he would call to look at my issue. I sent him the address yesterday as he said he was in the area this morning, but the message hasn't even blue double ticked so don't know if he even saw it, though it showed him online at 6.15am. Time is passing and heard nothing so not holding out much hope. It is unbelievable how difficult it is to get anyone to do anything at all. In my own work if someone asks for something I reply promptly, do what I say I'll do and act with integrity and respect, would be nice for some of that to come back when I need help but doesn't seem to be how it works.

In any case, trying not to get stressed about it. I have no obligations today or tomorrow, and Mon and Tues are pretty quiet. Need to concentrate on getting myself better somehow.

Disappointed but not surprised. Tradesman never showed up. Don't see the point of him replying to the messages and commenting ont the photos if he was round the corner today and couldn't be bothered. Back to square one again. Just going to try to rest and relax as much as I can today and tomorrow.

I keep eating. I have sabotaged my weight loss journey. I have the hungry urge. Some was due to the prednisone but I have been off prednisone for 5 days. But I am always hungry. I had lost 50 pounds but I have gained 10. This may be the wrong forum to complain but I’m worried about my weight. And I’m binge eating and somehow got to stop. Very frustrating.
i wish i had the answers. once you start to backslide it's hard to go forward on a diet. for now maybe try eating a little less of what you want. either way it will be a hard journey and my heart goes out to you
