Stopped counting for over a month, subconsciously maintained, mentally felt I gained weight back.

Back in the middle of July I started losing motivation and felt as though I couldn't control my cravings and would constantly binge. I fell back into my old habits for a while and I started to stop weighing weekly because I was scared to see myself gaining all my weight back. For all of August I didnt count calories, but the idea of me losing all my progress kept pinging me in the back of my mind. Honestly I started to feel as if I had gained 20 lbs again and I felt terrible, couldnt look in the mirror etc. But today I felt brave enough to weigh myself and see the damage I had done. I only went up 1 lb! Thinking about it; Even though I was eating things I shouldnt have I never ate after I was full so I guess I must have subconsciously kept my calories at maintenance level. Writing this out really made me realize how my mentality warped during my month off, even though I didnt gain any weight I FELT as though i had and it made me feel even more demotivated. Can anyone help me understand why? I still dont feel like I'm 151lbs, even though the scale hasnt changed I still feel like I gained my weight back and I'm trying to figure how to push past this block also I can start back up again.
