I have lost close to 85 lbs so far and it seems like every time I get close to an important checkpoint in my weight loss, I sabotage myself. I am getting to a point at which I feel normal. Obesity is not the first thing people see when they look at me. I'm so nervous about it. I don't know why I am so scared of losing weight and meeting my goal. It's almost like I don't know how to survive in that world, I've been the fat girl my entire life, even in kindergarten.

Any advice or ideas that could help?

    Just beginning have no idea how I feel when I get to where you are now--but I've read a lot of posts describing the same feelings you do.... Do you think it's because it's an unfamiliar thing living in a slim body something you need to get used to? Or were we overweight our lives because it was kind of protective shield and now that that shield is gone will need to find another way to protect the vulnerabilities?
