[quote=Anonymous]An obstacle for me has been the frustration of doing the right things but my body still not resembling what I looked like 15 years ago or even 7 to 10 years ago. You have to come to understand you are aging as we all are and your body will change. And that's just part of life. And it's ok.  There will be a segment of people who are naturally and easily thin but most people do have to do things to not gain in midlife and even then, the odds are you will not look the same but you can still be much healthier and look better. But not 35. I say this because in midlife it can be demoralizing to be working hard to lose and it just does not easily come off and the things that worked in the past take much more time. That's why I recommended therapy. To find a way to cope with the frustrations and to start to learn to love yourself so you want to take care of yourself for your own sake. Not to be a slave to the numbers or to try to look like you did two decades ago. Just aim for progress which shoukd include increased self esteem and self acceptance, and better health in addition to weight loss. And ironically the former then ultimately assists in the latter anyway. Self loathing never helps long term. Good luck.[/quote]
