im curious as to what people are scared of in regards to their weight and weight loss. My worst fear, which I know will happen as I'm already seeing it, is that when I finish losing body fat, I'm going to have horrible excess skin! Any ideas on how I can reduce this without surgery?

Having loose skin is mainly genetics.
Over time, you'll be losing weight and your skins elasticity won't be able to catch up to the decrease in fat. Granted, you'd have to have a larger TDEE and a big deficit.

Loose skin is almost completely a function of genetics. It may improve over a couple of years after you're done losing, but if you have it there isn't anything than can be done to get rid of it other than filling it back up or getting it removed.0

That I'll still have cellulite and also have saggy skin...I want to look good, not just deflated XP0

That i will have a "screw it all to hell" thought and just utterly give up.0

That I would use my weight loss/healthy habits as place to get to a bad place emotionally, i.e., judging others harshly (which would ultimately mean holding myself to stringent physical standards and not appreciating who I am as a whole person who's on a journey, and not just an object to be photographed).0

1. My mom will finally join me in this journey but already have heart disease.
2. I don't learn every lesson is this process and am not able to maintain my loss.
3. Still have all the same health problems even when I reach my ultimate goal.0 -
That I will fall off the wagon. Having lost 20 lbs and getting off diabetes medication I have too much to lose to stop now.0

That I will run out of desire, self control, or motivation.0

My biggest fear is that I will fall back into old habits...0

Excess skin was a fear but now it's a reality
My big fears now are that I'll have bowed legs and maybe gain the weight back.
I'm a little worried that I'll never get used to not being fat, too, but I think I will.0 -

3. I'll be ridiculed by my family0 -
