Which all boils down to the whole I still need to grow up thing. Ugh. The medical weight loss team will be my accountability until I learn how to be fully accountable to myself. That's one of the reasons I signed up for it, because it's not just a dr it's covering all the bases - medical, mental health, movement, etc.

I don’t know all that many adults who are fully accountable to themselves. They have families, or friends, or partners, or religions, or, yes, therapists to be accountable to. I don’t think it’s a growing up problem, because you are a grown up (and if you weren’t, by this point growing up isn’t happening).
Why not find a dietitian or a therapist specializing in disordered eating for after the medical weight loss thing so you can keep it up?
