For me it has all come down to coming to grips with the simple fact that keeping weight off requires a lifestyle change. Period. Eat less food, exercise more, for the rest of your life. The key/lightbulb/solution for me is the personal trainer. It all started with that, and I’ll do it for the rest of my life if I have to.

I wish there was some way I could magically help others find that thing that would be a catalyst for a lifestyle change, which they could stick with forever. But alas, I accidentally dropped my magic wand down a well years ago and could never get it back. Now all I can do is blog, try to be an example and encouraging to others, and hope I can inspire some others enough to figure out their thing and stick with it.
