Yesterday I got a goal of -50 lbs down ! The last 10 pounds were so slow coming off because I let some bad habits creep back in. I've been back on track for the last week. Excited to see the next 25 come off. I have a goal in my head of 148- doc says I can get to 135, but I have my doubts. this is a recent pic same shirt as my before and during pic. 
Feeling great!

I have started eating small quantities of sweets- like a scoop of sherbet or 2 chip ahoy Cookies. I track everything I put in my mouth and my dr actually said it's ok as long as I follow Protein first and really limit carbs to 25% or less of my caloric intake.

If your life is becoming out of control, focus on the one thing you can control. What you eat. Believe in yourself and focus on stabilizing yourself. You can do it. You did a lot to get where you are today with weight loss

Very upfront straight talk.
That will lower the outgoing expenses for Jules too.

Go straight to the kitchen and throw the crap out. Stop bringing it in the house. Since you are on a more strict budget now, you can't afford the junk now anyway. Sugar, pour the sugar out!!! It will only make you want more if you keep putting it in your tea - get some sweetner or something, switch to crystal light.
You can do this, you know how. Go check out some books from the library on mindful eating, getting through a divorce, find a free support group.
Chin up, it will get better if you take action. Just take one, and build on it. Good luck.

It's good you have this forum to express what's really going in your life, but you're weaving a web that's going to continue downward if you can't confide in your therapist and your doctor. They are there to help you, not just pat you on the back when you're doing well. If you're lying to them, then you're going to continue to do bad. It's just the facts. If you honestly think the doctor doesn't know you're lying, you're sadly mistaken. This is what they do for a living and they know if you follow the plan, then you would get the results. Work it out. Work it out with your therapist. I'm a licensed counselor and I can tell you and hear people lie to me everyday and I just let them know, when they're ready to tell the full story and give me more facts than not, we can get further in their therapy. If not, they will always deal with the same issues and make a ton of excuses as to why they're not making the accomplishments in life that they're striving for. I hope this helps.

New pic- half way to goal. I keep taking pics in the same shirt- I posted before and an earlier pic in this thread.

Hello everyone 🙄 I was sleeved June 1st and I've never felt better. I'm 1 pound away from my GW & that's exciting but scary being it's only been 6months & I'm still loosing @ half lb per week! My surgeon wanted me in the 150's but I know I would be frail/sick looking (b/c of my height of 5'8")so I stayed focused on my goal POSTOP and I feel super & look gorgeous (if I must say). I'm no longer on meds for high bp & my feet no longer swell after a long day🙄 Congrats to all of us on this "New lease on life"

totally normal. you need to take a lot of pictures. the mirror lies, even the scale sometimes lies. Pictures seem to be the most reliable. Body dysmorphia is common. it takes a long time for the brain to catch up. I'm wearing a size 2 now! and I still often think I need to lose more...when I'm in that mindset i take a picture and go...right, never mind it was just my fat brain talking.

When you do THIS, it puts it in persepctive for you..

Lol I think I'm the opposite to you. I used to be thin and keep forgetting I'm big and don't even really notice it all that much in the mirror. It's the photos that horrify me and bring me back to reality! So yeah photos sound like the key advice here

Take pictures and do side by sides. That really helps me.
Also buy clothing that fits because it will really help your confidence. I've also found that there is larger difference between plus sizes so I went down sizes slower when I was in plus than I did once I got into straight sizes.

Dang! I forgot last week! 214 today
