Have I really lost who I am?
Hi. I am going through exactly the same thing that you are. I could have written your post myself as it describes just what I am feeling.
The only thing that I keep telling myself is that my marriage has value (my husband loves me more than anything) and that I can't do anything stupid impulsively, no matter how much those hedonistic urges are driving me.
But I also say that I am unwilling to go back in 'the box', which on many days I think my DH would be happy for me to do. I am a different person, or rather, the person that maybe I would have been if I hadn't been killing myself with food for so many years.
Anyway, I recently got myself into therapy, which I think is helping, and just day by day try to deal with the tinder-box of emotions that is bubbling just beneath the surface. I swear, some days I feel like I am going to explode from all the pressure of the 'new me' trying to claw her way out. Do I let her? No, that would be pretty self destructive, but I have to find a way to reconcile the new me with the old that keeps the best of both.
Still working on it....It is a life in progress.
Good luck.
