I also am an emotional eater, and i think until i can find a way to address that and use something more positive in my life to channel my stress rather than eating, i will always have weight issues, up and down,so i too am still working hard on that.

Don't be hard on yourself, you have not put on all the weight yet, and you are totally aware of what you are doing, your life sounds so stressful, i really feel for you so much, HUGS,i totally empathize with you and i hope you find a way to deal with your stress other than eating, as in the end it is a no win situation.

i lost ten kgs over three years ago, and kept it off,last year due to a painful injury ,which is now permanent and painful, i turned to emotional eating due to my depression, i ended up putting 5kgs back on, now i have lost 3kgs, but i am struggling to get it back off, its very very difficult.

If you can get on top of it again, (motivation is always so hard especially under the stress you are dealing with,)you will loose the weight again ,and you won't regain it all, here for you anytime to chat, i understand.

just re reading your post, already you are sounding so much more positive and getting back to healthy eating, so easy to fall in to bad habits,good for you, you can do this , you really can.
