Maybe you added your account to the operators group, but removed it from 
the wheel group?
Try:

id <username>

and see if you have wheel in your groups.

as root you can use pw usermod to restore this, e.g.

pw usermod <username> -g <primarygroup> -G wheel,operator,...

(there are other ways to do this as well.)
