I almost didn't comment. It's hard to admit to the world that you are struggling with your weight. I lost 35 pounds once and am proud to say that I didn't gain it all back. That's not really saying much since I came close enough that it's a rather farcical pride. What you say here about losing weight is very true for the short run but I don't think, at least for me, it's sustainable. The real challenge is to change your preferences, or convince yourself that you're happy with less, both daunting tasks. Congratulations on your success.
