[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think of it as making a permanent lifestyle change and not an effort to lose weight.

Also, this is a complete wild guess so ignore it if it is not appropriate: do you have any issues about feeling vulnerable if you look good? If you have problems setting boundaries with people, you might feel safer with the extra pounds. So learning to set boundaries might be important.  Again, a total guess....[/quote]

OP here. If anything, it's the exact opposite.  I'm shocked at how much better I feel about myself when I'm slimmer.  I enjoy shopping for clothes, going out with friends, initiate sex with DH more, and overall feel more confident.  So why do I let that feeling slip away so easily?!

FWIW, I'm only talking about a 5-10 lb difference here.  I'm 5'1", so a little weight goes a long way. It's not like I need to gain and re-lose a significant amount of weight.  The mental commitment required by some of the posters on this board who have lost 20, 50, 100 lbs is amazing.  It almost makes me feel more pathetic that I can't get my act together to keep off those 5-10 pesky pounds.  [/quote]
