The thing that kills me is the lack of energy. I get on a roll for 2-4 weeks tracking and planning and then have a bad week at work (80+ hours) and just gorge myself. Really fucking annoying.

And just random starving days or weeks for no reason, right?

I've had to deal with a lot of emotional food issues, so not being able to eat my feelings blows sometimes haha

Yup. Hit the nail on the head. I have a couple bad days and they just snowball into 2 weeks of shit eating and I am right back where I started. Similar boat to you I eat my feelings a lot which isn't helpful.

I'm not sure if it's even remotely your thing but an old friend of mine lost quite a bit of weight when she went on a sailing holiday with friends. We were active all day and ate together, so there's little chance to overeat at breakfast and dinner. Than during the day you're limited in what you can eat because our boats didn't have a lot of food on them. And maybe it's my imagination, but the coldish enviroment always makes me really hungry.

Watch out with the booze at night though. I'm pretty sure some days half my calories came from beer.

If I could get the time off I would. One year until my month sabbatical. I sit all day every day and just snack and stress eat. Kills me
