What strengths do you that help you move forward and hold steady with recovery?
No recovery right now. I am panicking and starving myself, bc I have gained. I'm so scared of getting fat(ter). I'm so done with recovery. I just wanna loose weight!
How can we support you this week on this journey?
Probably nothing right now. I am panicky right now :S

I'm sorry that you are struggling and panicking right now. The body is a very challenging thing for us. We have this belief that not eating will help us lose weight, but when our body don't get regular meals, it's natural instinct is to hold anything we eat as fuel to be stored for an emergency. So not eating is the enemy to weight loss.
I know it doesn't feel that way though. The other thing I think about with weight loss is that if we weigh too often, what we see too is normal fluctuations in our body related to water weight. This is normal, and as humans we are made up of like 50-65% water, that is lot of fluctuating we can do over several days that is up and down.
That said, I get how it can be very difficult to deal with changes in body with weight, shape, etc. You're not alone with that. Try to hold on through this difficult time. You are worth the effort.
