What I am saying and suggesting might sound odd, but if you listen for a minute, I think I can make myself understood.

Our bodies naturally decrease metabolism when we are suffering from stress because stress-related things typically occur when food is scarce.
Healthy and nutritious food should be eaten constantly throughout the day. You should consume a minimum of six small meals spaced out evenly over the day. The last meal rather than storing it up, not quite sure when the next meal will be coming that this will trigger your body in to a faster metabolism because it wil get in the pattern of expecting another meal very soon , so it will feel comfortable metabolizing.
Your body is full of toxins, fecal matter, and general junk that are inhibiting proper absorption and digestion of your meals. A complete body cleanse will not only quickly reduce your weight, but it will give you more energy and a healthier physical appearance.
I am certain that you are not drinking enough water. Do you know how much you should be drinking? Using this calculation, if you weigh approximatey 180 pounds then you would want to consume at least 90 ounces of water each day. According to the formula, the correct number of ounces of water you should drink each day can be calculated by taking your weight (in pounds) and dividing by two. Note: tap water is not an option. You are best off switching between drinking water filtered with reverse osmosis and water that has been distilled. If you can’t stand the taste of water, then add fresh squeezed lemons, but no sugar or sugar substitutes.

You will be so relieved to finally put it down that you will feel amazing, just think of how you feel when you lose that much of you!
