I wonder what's going on? try doing EVERYthing different. Set up a new routine now, and convince yourself that the old one was ALL wrong. I mean everything. Workout at a diff hour, or do the routine backward. Shower w/ cold water instead of hot or viseversa. Eat at a slightly different time, maybe snack more. Are you snacking often? Swap one thing in your foods, maybe greek yogurt for a slice of bread w/ pb? Drink a glass of room temp water first thing in the morn... seriously. Do everything and convince yourself this is going to work. It will.  

You make sense (of course). SO hard to get out of my programming. I am NOT going to shower with cold water-that's a deal breaker! I gained back the weight while recovering from the flu and oral surgery-literally drinking broth every day, no alcohol, one serving of cream of weight and one serving of frozen yogurt for 10 day. I did not exercise at all....Will start new program (have to think of it first but it won't include cold showers) Friday. Today I am fasting for another freakin" med test and will be sleeping all day tomorrow... 

Oh no! I hope you are well buddy. I thought I read about the oral surgery. Hope your mouth healed fast. Really, I think your body goes on the starvation mode and holds your food since its worried about when you will eat next (since you always do low calorie). I think its 'ok' to do a low cal diet as long as its not too low and you do eat often. It keeps your body convinced you will be getting food and naturally your metabolism kicks in. I snack a lot! LOL I hate cold showers, but I was desperate to lose the weight once too. I did everything. Of course, I dealt w/ finding myself worthy too back then, so I even started my day off w/ looking myself in the mirror and convincing myself that today I loved myself, was worth it, and I can make a change, even a small one. Thats corny I know, but I struggled a LOT back then.
