Back after a 5 year stop

Hello!
I am looking for support from anyone who is a "vanilla" no s from the beginning. I read the book and started in January of 2014. I was running/working out (not too extremes) and lost 12 pounds in 12 weeks! I was never starving, AND the most fun was on Saturday nights I allowed myself that bowl of popcorn and a beer even if I didn't want it. During the week I did not cheat. The thing is now, I have gone through menopause and cannot lose any weight. I will play around with 2-3 pounds of water weight but nothing sticks. I have added a horrible habit of Coca cola every day (1/2 can) at lunch and must have chips with my sandwich. Lunch is my downfall. I recently have had some stress in my life and have also been eating ice cream in the evening. I am hoping to get a hold of these bad habits soon. When I see the scale move it excites me to keep going; progress is powerful. I had myself back in 2014 to the point that I would not eat anything out of a box, or a potato chip or anything that I considered fake food. I have gained back the 12 pounds + an additional 3.
My trainers (no longer with one) had told me I need to eat more calories. I need to lift more weights. UGG!
I am getting ready to hit the road No S this coming Monday May 6th. I don't want to count calories anymore, macros, ANYTHING. Just my 3 plates a day. Can a get a "hell yeah Cindy you can do this"? Please?? Anyone else slip and fall and come back?
Thank you group!
