How did you do it before? What's changed? Does it make sense for you to do something about it now rather than wait until you've got a more significant problem?
I've read that a lot of people who have maintained weight loss for a long time have a trigger point. When they get up to a certain weight they act.
I like www.skinnydaily.com for a variety of suggestions and encouragement.
(OK, I know you said that you don't have good luck when people try to encourage you over LJ, but I'm going to try anyway. You've lost a bunch of weight and kept it off for some time. That's very impressive! Successful maintenance is just one more step.)
loosing and maintaining has always been a combination of calorie counting and diet meals for me.
What's changed is I give into temptation more. I've been in the sort of moods where I want the short term over the long term and the kind of moods where I wonder why I'm bothering to torcher myself.
