Hey Fluffy,
That's me to a tee. Lost 50 pounds 6 years ago, kept it off for 4 1/2 years (my record), then regained about half of it. It's not because my metabolism has broken or anything like that. It's because my job takes me to the finest restaurants in the world's great cities and I stopped resisting. No mystery, really: if you eat 4,000-calorie dinners you'll start regaining.
It's taken me a few months to get back on track, but I think I'm finally in a groove. Oddly enough, what clicked for me is the fact that my adult daughter needs to GAIN weight. If I expect her to make an effort to gain, it would be hypocritical of me not to make a commensurate effort to lose some...
No matter how many times I stumble, I remain in the "never give up" camp.
