Hmmm, @Lizbean, tough questions...
One thing that really helps me is to write everything here. Hence that detailed journal. I try to write even when things go wrong, instead of digging myself under the rock in shame.
Also, planning in advance is really helpful.
And fast days, when I can simply turn off the thoughts about food. If only one could lose weight in the same way as quitting of smoking, just cut off the food completely. I'm "all or nothing" kind of person.
And struggles? Obviously, the food addiction, which appears whenever I'm stressed, upset, sad etc. In that case nothing helps and I just want to eat. Only food comforts me.
Also social events, but with this I seem to be able to work better and better. I have a tendency to go wild, I eat one thing and then I couldn't stop.
Impatience - I continue to fall of the wagon right when I'm such a small piece from some important progress, specific number on the scale etc. Really weird, like I hold on and on and then suddenly I have not enough willpower to wait anymore.

I get this wonderful sense of grit and determination from you and yes we get knocked off the saddle briefly from time to time. I find the longer I keep on track the clearer the journey becomes. 
I guess that's my goal for 2016. Bedtime 
Keep going ... 
I will respond later
