Also how tall are you? Because at 165 you look incredible!
If you want to motivate yourself, set a couple of long term goals (like what you hope to achieve in 3 months, 6 months, or a year), and an attainable short term one (like, to lose 4 lbs of fat in a month).Keep taking pictures to track your progress (don't worry, you don't have to show anyone if you are embarrassed or shy), keep testing your bodyfat levels every week, and keep paying attention to all the progress you are making.

But reading your plan makes me willing to get back into it. It's awful that you can work so hard, and get out of it for just a little bit and be back to square one.This is off topic, but I love your bangs in that one photo.
It's ok, everyone gets off track at some point. It doesn't matter whether it's the average person or an Olympia contestant.If you did good then, you can do good now. You just need to build up momentum and keep pushing yourself, no matter how much you hate doing it. You'll eventually start to feel so much better because of it.
And don't think of it as going back to square one. You're probably more knowledgeable now than you were when you first started, so you're still at some advantage.
You can do it
