People who gained all the weight back and then lost it again, how did you find the motivation and discipline, and forgive yourself?

In 2016, I reached 100 lbs lost. I was 19, still living at my parents house, and wasn't taking college courses. Basically, I made weight loss a full time job, and it worked.

When I got to college, I started to slip. Going out to eat too much. By my senior year, I had gained 30 lbs. Then I got into a relationship and started a corporate job soon after. I stress ate (which is my big problem), and the 70 lbs left came back really quickly.

Now I feel like garbage. I've been trying all throughout lockdown to lose weight, and while at one point I did manage to lose 28 lbs, I'm now +7 on the lockdown as a whole (once again sabatoging my own progress). I desperately want to lose the weight again. I hate being fat. I want the respect, health, & dating opportunities that come with fitness, but I can never seem to make any progress. And it certainly isn't helping that everytime I think back on my 2016 self I just feel like a massive idiot for letting myself go, even when I well knee the consequences of obesity, having had loved them.
