I totally empathise. The thing about all those diets is, they have to be permanent lifestyle changes, not something you do until you lose the weight and then go back. I find I can't bear making those changes permanently. There are some foods that I'd miss too much. Bread, for one. And that's a big one.

Then there's metabolism. A person with a higher metabolism would lose weight on what I eat. But my past circumstances have permanently altered my metabolism, and it would take something radical to make a difference.

I track my weight by what I can still fit into, and that's getting depressing enough as it is. *sigh*
