you have done so well James, most of us couldn't keep to a plan for as long as you have done and lose as much as you have done, you have done such a fab job so far with turning your life around! It has to be said that pretty much all of us will fall off the wagon at times as another poster said, just keep trying to get back on track, I know it can be difficult if we temporarily don't feel in the right mind set and the majority of us that reach large start weights have issues with the use of food for emotional reasons so its no shock that at times life is going to get in the way and we find ourselves relying on that old trusty friend. Also its so common on some level many of us can self sabotage and not really realise we are doing it. I have such a mixed reaction to say losing weight, on one level I am so happy and motivated and on another level I am deeply scared of losing the body shield the weight has provided me with so its a real mixed bag, in the past I have got on the scales and seen a massive weight loss and that very same day gone on a massive food binge, sadly for many of us our relationship with food is far from black and white, its so complicated and takes a while to be able to sort it out.
