62lbs down since last May and I just broke a bedframe.

Hello. I could really use some support or encouragement right now.

As of last May, I reached my highest weight of 306lbs living with an abusive relationship. I broke it off, immediately became happier, and stopped comfort eating. I also stopped consuming alcohol problematically. If you look at my post history, you can see a submission to the stopdrinking subreddit which highlights how bad things got. Folks, it was bad.

Well, I inevitably, being happier, and consuming fewer calories, meant I lost weight. And now I'm sitting at 244lbs, which feels great, but is obviously still about 100lbs away from where I want to end up. I met an amazing, incredible, womderful man. He loves me just as I am - flawed, troubled, and recovering.

This just makes it all the more painful that after throwing a jokey tantrum and rolling over in his bed, the wooden supports gave out on my side. Ironically, this had never happened to me 62lbs ago. And yeah sure, the frame is a little old and the screws holding it together were small, but whatever. I'm overweight, so I'm attributing it entirely to my weight. I'm crying a lot, privately.

I am so humiliated. I feel worse right now than I have at any point of my weight loss. I have aggressively offered to pay for replacements and can construct them together just fine, but... fuck. It always feels like things are on the brink of being okay and then somehow I fuck them. And I can't let him know how upset I am, because he needs to sleep. I can't apologise enough because he won't hear it - it's not my fault, he loves me, everything is okay. I don't want to be exhausting so I'll rant here so he doesn't have to hear it. I feel... dreadful.

At least I can use this as motivation to absolutely never cheat on my CICO even for a second. The thought of overeating makes me want to die. I didn't think I needed a rock bottom to continue making progress. I guess I got one anyway.
