Motivation is a slippery fish.

This is an interesting idea that I think could be a factor with what is going on. Only you would know for sure. Not many folks talk about this... I had read that our bodies have a mind of their own and that the body will do everything in its power to stay the weight it was used to the longest. In my case this theory has run very true... That anything under that weight triggers huge automatic responses to starvation, even though a person is overweight. The trick is to keep the weight you want to be for a long while so that your bodies biggest response will be to stay there.

That's pretty interesting. In my case, the weight I was the longest is still pretty far away from my current weight. I gained a lot pretty quickly, unfortunately. But I've read that the less time you hold it, the easier it is to get rid of, so maybe that's along the same lines. I think my biggest problem right now is a hormone-based crap-fest. But when I get the weight I'd like to be, I'm going to hold onto it FOREVER!! Thank you for reading and commenting! :)
