Any advice for getting those last 20 lbs off?

I am 14 months Post RNY and have lost 120 ish. I've got another 20 lbs to get to my doctor's goal but I'd like to get 10 lbs lower than that. The problem is I haven't lost anything in the last 4 months! I've just lost the focus that I had in the beginning! I'm not exercising like I did in the beginning because of scheduling conflicts. In the beginning I made everyone's world revolve around me but with kids, that's hard to continue to do! I'm struggling to eat "right" now because my stomach is so much less finicky. In the beginning food either hurt or didn't appeal to me. I really didn't have an appetite! Now I can eat like a "normal" person so I have to really try to watch what I eat! After the first rough part where I was in pain, this loosing process was neat because I got those "rewards" every time I stepped on the scale. The scales quit budging and I quit working so hard at it! I realize that the surgery was on my stomach and not my head but I'm just having a hard time getting my head back into the game. I guess what I'd like to know is did any one else out there struggle to "finish the job" and if you did, what helped you to refocus? Even though I've succeded by loosing so much weight, I don't feel like I've "won" because I am still overweight. This honestly feels like another failed diet attempt (like the hundreds of failures before WLS)
