Hi I'm Val. I joined up to mfp 5 wks ago for the third time and now I have lost 11lbs. Sometimes when I'm doing really well I get alittle scared that I will fail again. Does anyone else suffer this fear. I love to make some friends on the site for support so if anyone wants to friend me that would be great. :happy:

    Like you I am making a come back. About 5 years ago I got real serious. Dropped 92 lbs - a foot surgery, and a girl surgery and 69 lbs later I am back trying again. Three weeks in and a foot is hurting.... scared I will hurt myself or not be able to continue. Terrified is a better word. I often ask myself do I have another come back in me, or do I just have to face dying fat.

    Great job on the weight loss! I hear ya about the fear. I worry that I'm going to just revert back to my old ways. It's not just our bodies that we have to change, but how we think about ourselves, too. It's hard to do it at first, but we can do it! Feel free to add me and anyone else who needs the support!

    Feel free to add me, my thoughts are that fear isn't always bad, just don't let it overwhelm you! I prefer to look at this as a lifelong journey and I'm in it for the long haul as opposed to a diet. I'm sure were all motivated differently! :)
