I lost 60 lbs. over the past two years. I went from 225ish to 165.

I'm back up to 185-190 depending on the day, and not a "good" 185. It's mainly fat, not muscle. Pic related of what I'd lost.

It's really common for people to regain weight because your body releases a chemical called leptin to increase appetite and reduce metabolism until you're back to your old weight. You just have to be careful watching what you eat and not slack off on exercise.

But as to your main issue I don't really know what to say other than get help. Do you have a therapist? If not you should definitely get one. Especially if you're worried you might hurt yourself.

I was very careful about eating after the weight loss, and was moderating my alcohol. When he killed himself, I let it all go.

I went to a couple of therapist visits, but couldn't reasonably maintain them with work. I'm not worried I'm going to hurt myself, though.

But you are though, Just not in a way thats obvious to you.

That's a bullshit excuse and you know it. There are 7 day a week therapists. Therapists with evening hours. You have time to see one on a regular basis. You just don't want the help.

I don't know how to find one, really. I'd easily go if I could. Besides spending hours calling around (which I'm not really in the state for), I don't know how to track one down.

I found a family therapist that I went to once, but we both agreed that she wasn't the right fit, and she had no one to recommend me to in my time slot.
