Still doing well. There have been various events, a music festival, a local festival, a dinner at an all you can eat. But have navigated all eating “normally”.

Im feeling VERY frustrated and overwhelmed right now and all i want to do is emotionally eat. I havent caved yet but i want to. I keep telling myself that eating for the wrong reasons wont solve anything. I just have to find a technique that works for me when i get strong emotions

So I’m kinda a mess mentally…
I don’t want to eat because I think I am too big.
And then
I eat too much because I am afraid of being too small and becoming a target again…
So
I weighed myself at 204 (5’7)
And subconsciously overate for a week to gain 10lbs and again feel like crap. I just can’t seem to win when it comes to weight and feeling comfortable in my body. Ugh.

You have to have food. Food is what gives you energy and keeps you healthy. Nourishes your body.
You are afraid of becoming too small and becoming a target of lecherous men?

Yes.
I haven’t been a target since I put on weight from my last pregnancy. And every time I lose it and go back to 175 or something I think it’ll happen again. But I don’t think that thinking is based in reality. Just being scared from the past
I do have a fair amount of muscle mass and even when I’m “thinner” I weigh about 185 or so

Our replies crossed.
There has to be a happy medium somewhere and there in lies the difficulty.
You said you gained ten pounds and it made you feel crappy.
If you still have that ten pounds on you then consider trying to lose only that ten pounds.
Small steps.
Get back there snd stop losing and take a look at the situation again.
Reevaluate.
One pound at a time.
OPAAT.
I know that you have a very demanding and busy schedule. You I am sure are on your feet all day long. If you’re able to do all that without getting short of breath then that’s very good.
