I thought I was going to be on a roll down the scale when I left the 188 lb. zone, but obviously I'm not.  I have been thinking a lot about why/when I get stuck.  I like to think it is very mysterious and out of my control.  I make it all so much more complicated than it is.  The fact of the matter is that the less I put in the old machine, me, the more my weight will drop.  It isn't hard to think about, it's just hard to do.
I get hung up on things like am I getting enough nutrients.  Well, hello, I have 185 pounds of nutrients to draw on.  Everything about me except my weight is within a healthy range.  I'm not anemic, not lacking energy, I sleep very well (thanks to my recent hormone adjustment), so what's up?
So I tell myself that with a little hunger and a lot of exercise I can lose weight.  What is so darn hard about that?  Um... doing it.  DUH!
The real question becomes how much do I want to lose 15 pounds.  If I can lose 60 pounds, I can lose 15 pounds.  Let's see if I can't get my mind, body and spirit all on the same page and make this a reality.  I'm not where I want to be on the scale, not how I want to look, and not how I want to feel.  Looking hard at myself in recent pictures or in my new mirror, I want it!
