Well, I'm still at it. I'm 35, and I lost the big weight (about 80 pounds) about 8 years ago. Was looking great, strong and sleek, when I met the guy who would become my husband. He's amazingly loving, supportive, and squishy around the middle. When he met me, he lost weight, and I slowly (over about 4 years) gained about 40 pounds back.
My doctor was freaked out by my high triglycerides (350) a year and a half ago, and that inspired me to lose about 25 pounds and reduce the tri's by about 150 points. So now I'm stuck. I really don't care to be as thin as I was in my mid twenties, so I'd be happy to just lose about 10 pounds. But I've been stuck here for a year, wiggling up or down a few pounds, but I can't break the plateau.
I work out very regularly, cardio, strength, and stretching (although not perfectly), and eat very consciously (although, again, not perfectly). What's it going to take to kill this monster once and for all??? What's the line between pushing for and insisting on personal change and growth and living with reality that is too difficult to change?
Any suggestions for this tired old dragon slayer?
