I have the same problem. At my biggest, I was 245; working like a trojan, I got down to 190, but guess what? Big surprise! Once I got down 'close enough' to my goal weight I celebrated! But, not in a healthy way - I binged (oh, did I binge!) and 8 months later, I was 232. I have now lost 9 pounds, but I still struggle with keeping it off. I am my own worse enemy when it comes to keeping the weight off. Like you, I am an all-or-nothing gal and struggle with keeping myself to only eating junk food in moderation. But, here's hoping that with the support of this group, that'll change! I guess I need to change my thinking from "once I get to xxx weight, I can celebrate and go back to eating whatever I want" to "once I get to xxx weight, I can celebrate in MODERATION while continuing to watch / be vigilant about what I eat"
