I also agree that the way past the tummy bulge is through exercise (or
acceptance!), not further weight loss. For me, for now, taking on yoga
is a big step, and it's a step in the right direction. I'd like to
stick with that (plus continue with the crunches and the few other
exercises I've taken on) and adjust to that rather than add something
further (such as weighlifting) at the moment. I've already
strenghtened muscles, improved my balance, and shrunk my waistline a
bit, so I can see progress. If that doesn't do enough, I'll have to
consider this issue further -- but not right now.

This sounds much more sensible, and much more likely to get you where
you want to go.

Good luck with your new program.
