Em, I know exactly how you're feeling. In fact I'd say that pretty much was me for many months. I'd done so well last year, losing nearly 18kg, and I put 16 of them right back on. I felt totally out of control and it made NO SENSE whatsoever! I'd been able to do it before what the hell was wrong with me that I couldn't do it again?! Every few weeks I would say to myself "right, this is it, back on track" and I would feel good for a day or three and then the wheels would fall off and BAM! back to stuffing myself to blunt the feelings of stress and self-pity (which of course just makes things worse).
Maybe I'm being dangerously optimistic talking in the past tense here but I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference this time. I seem to have found my mojo, I don't know where it had got to or exactly what it was that brought it back but I do know that the one thing I did do right was to refuse to quit, even when I was waaaay off the rails I wouldn't let myself think in terms of giving up all together.
And the point of all that long-winded rambling? You're NOT a failure. You had tremendous success and you CAN do it again. Please, please hold on to that thought and don't give up!
If you can find someone who is able to help you with food stresses then that would be a wonderful idea. To seek help is an act of strength and can only lead to good things.
I was so touched by you popping up to comment on my blog so quickly when I came back to it after many moons of neglect, you're in my thoughts, and on my RSS feed ;-), so keep blogging, I'll be checking up on you!
much love

Em, don't be so down on yourself..losing weight is not easy, espesially getting the mind into the right frame of mind to begin the journey. Even now after nearly 2 years of losing weight and getting and achieving goal I still have days where all I do is EAT!! Try to stay focused and hopefully soon everything will fall into place for you. Remember, you are worth the effort...you deserve it too. If you feel the need to get help, do so...it does not make you a failure...actually it makes you a winner as you are doing it for you and your health.
Take care,
Jen
Em, can identify with the feeling - I'm OK right now but yes there are times when it all seems too hard and you just get so mad at yourself for not being able to achieve what you want. I don't have a magic wand - but I do think that if you continue to remain aware and acknowledge your unhappiness then one fine day your head will just pop into the right space and away you'll go again.
Take care
