Do you have any weight loss fears? Like example some women fear that they will lost their breast size during weight loss. (this used to be one of mine)

My first post, but wanted to share. My biggest fear is the loose skin issue. I've been overweight my whole life, so I know I will have this problem. I've been trying crazy daily habits to try to help with this. I'm terrified when I lose the weight I will want to put it back on because of this.0

I'm scared that I'll reach my goal weight and still hate the way I look.0

My fear is I'll never be happy with what I look like once I get down to my goal weight.0

Excess saggy skin (especially since I'm only 23) and that I will have to get rid of ALL of my clothes (obviously I know this is inevitable, but all I see is having to get rid of $$$ since I've spent so much money over the years on clothes).0

This, not sure I will. I was always 40 pounds over my goal weight but for the past 2 years I slowly gained 60 more pounds and not sure if I'll have lose skin, hopefully not!0 -

Good luck on your journey and do not let the fear of excess skin stop you.0 -
My biggest fear is gaining it all back... been there, done that.... right now, I am "almost there" (meaning.... am nearing my goal.... not sure what that weight number is since I refuse to stand on a scale...but was a size 26 at my all time high...currently a size 6.... working towards a size 4)....and intend to never go back.... still, it is a fear...
and, fwiw.... I will take my loose skin any day over rolls of fat. it is what it is.... I feel better, I look better (even with the loose skin)....0 -
I am worried about loose skin, like a lot of other people seem to be. I have been overweight since probably 2nd grade, so this is a huge fear for me. I've been trying suggestions here and on other sites to hopefully minimize the issue, but only time will tell on that one.0

That I'll never truly be happy with my body, even after I hit my goal weight and my heavy lifting starts showing results.
That I'll gain it back once I'm at my goal.
...gah, this thread is going to be depressing.0 -

I fear that my skin will not shrink and that gaining it back. I think those are common fears but I still have them.0

...gah, this thread is going to be depressing.Look at the positive side, when we face our fears we sometimes can get past them. Look them head on and beat fear in the face!

That I'll lose all the weight and still be ugly... Lol! I try to make light of it, but it's still a legitimate fear. That I'll never actually be happy with myself.0
