Loosing control fast...how do I snap out of the relapse?

I joined CC in the winter and it has helped me gain so much control over my snacking, binging and overall health. A week and a half ago I moved back home from college for the summer and I dont even know the person Ive become. At my apartment I always had healthy options and didnt buy sweets or junk so I wouldnt be tempted. Being home has destroyed my progress. Im 5'2, 128 (was 123 2 weeks ago) aiming for 1300cal/day. The past few days Ive averaged around 2000-2500. I am going downhill fast. I thought it I was eating awful due to final exam stress but now I feel like Im on a downward spiral eating anything and everything in sight even when Im full :( PLEASE HELP. How do I adjust to the dangerous homefood environment and how do I get back on track? Thanks in advance for any insight, experiences or adivce.

could you buy the sort of healthy options you were eating at college and eat them at home?

i know that when i'm home i'm more likely to crave crappy foods like white bread, biscuits and crisps just because they are there but when there are healthier alternatives i'm more likely to eat them than the 'bad' foods.

A few things:

1. Food is fuel for your body, NOT entertainment. Don't look at eating as an activity. Food is meant to fuel your body, not be a fun activity you engage in like going out with firends. Start fueling your body with good foods, and your body will love you back by dropping the weight, and you'll feel worlds better.

2. No food tastes as good as being healthy feels. And no food tastes as good as you remember it tasting. When we're restricting, we seem to remember everything with rose colored glasses. "OH I remember how mom's brownies used to taste, they were amazing, I want one so bad..." but when you acutally have one, they aren't as great as we remember, and they're just as bad for you. Instead of thinking how good that brownie will taste, think how good you will look once you're done with your weight loss!

3. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! What are you doing hanging around the house? When a craving strikes, do something else! Go for a run, drink some water, go to the gym, call a friend and meet for a movie, read a book in the park, surf the web at Starbucks (over a skinny latte), ANYTHING besides sitting at home with the kitchen calling your name.

Those are my thoughts. I have lots of experience with binge eating, feel free to let me know what I can do for you, I totally understand what you're going through.
