Amen to all that. Whenever we're sick of maintaining or having to shed the same old however-many pounds, my husband and I joke that we'd rather die fat and jolly than miserable and skinny. Of course, there is a middle ground, but it's tricky to find it.

Six kinds of cookies. That's my idea of heaven right there. Actually, I'd be a lot less terrified of dying if that could be guaranteed.

Good post, Taryn. I think it's such an important step to understand what works and does not work for each of us first in order to get some good progress on diet, health, etc. For me, I have found pretty good results in "carb-cycling" since it is nice and simple and I don't count calories or any of that. It's the uber-crazy notion that I have to earn my carbs. On days of less activity, less carbs. More activity? You guessed it - more carbs allowed.

Keep at it. Love your posts - added you to my blogroll too. :)

Wow! I am reading this post and feel like it's me that wrote it because everything you've tried, I've tried! And you're right, the only real thing that works is getting off our butts and moving and watching what we eat. I keep saying that I'll never be one those those girls who can diet, lose the weight, and go back to a "real" life... this will ALWAYS be my life because I'm just built that way.... But once you realize it, you suck it up, put your big girl panties on and get it done. If not, the alternative is too scary to contemplate!

Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing your struggle and know that there are those out here that are cheering you on as we struggle right along with you! :)
