Hi vicincali2! Good to see that you are still trying! Sorry to see that it has not been going well lately.
But, please just keep on trying. The failing is just part of the practice, it can teach you valuable lessons and make you stronger, so that eventually you will get it. Don't let it get you down!
You don't need excuses. You are already awesome for fighting for this, so you are not doing anything wrong. Needing an excuse implies you are guilty of something, and you aren't. You are just learning. And you are awesome anyways, just for being you.
Use self-acceptance as your starting point. Eating well is an act of self-love, in a way that is nourishing, fulfilling and in good proportions. So is exercising, again in a way that is good for your body. And being patient with yourself is an act of self love as well. Allowing yourself to make some mistakes. The most successful people DOUBLE their rate of failure, they actively seek out situations that challenge them, because they know that it will help them grow. So, if you accept failure as just part of the process, and in fact that if you fail that you are actually successful, unless you quit, than you will get there. Just keep experimenting and loving!

Well turkey bacon...
I'm eating food that I prepared 2 days ago. I think that's the way I'm going to do it. About 300 cal per meal. Except for Breakfast and snack. About 150 each. So about 1000 cal per day. I'm also having almond milk with my coffee. And drinking iced hibiscus tea that I made myself. I'm going to the gym tomorrow. I tried going today but it was closed due to the snow storm! Just my luck!

Good to see that things are going in the right direction again! Haha, you weigh yourself a lot! Just don't forget to not worry too much about the daily fluctuations!
The day before yesterday I was close to 91 kg, while my lowest weight (last week) is 87.5. I know that I ate a bit too much for two days, but I also know that gaining 3.5 kg of fat in a few days is impossible (that would be about 27000 excess calories). The damage from those 2 days could, at most, have been 0.5 kg of weight gain. And that is not something I worry about.
I guess my point is that it's good to use your head when weighing yourself. I think for many people, weighing themselves is a very emotional experience and they take the number way too seriously (while other people ignore the scale completely, which is also not smart).

157.0 lbs
But I'm proud to say I haven't binged or purged in the last 2 days. Yesterday I had broth for breakfast and lunch. Dinner was a chicken salad with pita. Today I had an egg and cheese on ciabatta. Dinner I had 2 mahi mahi tacos with a little guacamole and a rum martini. I also had a venti passion tea lemonade.
I am trying not to be bulimic for at least a week.
