    Same here. I think for a long time that was one of my reason for don't wanting to lose so bad. But I just let myself get to the breaking point. And now I want go slow and steady. Work my way down.

    Great question and I agree with the skin answer too. I also feared, when I was in the business world, of losing my visibility and presence at the conference room table. If I shrunk, would people see me? Honestly, that's what I thought for many years subconsciously. Once I brought that fear to the surface and realized what it was, I could banish it but golly. When one is playing with "the big boys" literally, one might feel the need to be big too!! LOL

    i fear becoming visable again. just seen.. for the past few years after i packed on all this extra weight, it was easy and almost a *relief* to not be seen, even though i hated it that i felt invisable.
    i fear the vulnerability.
    i fear being any sort of inspiration or role model.
    i fear all the emotions and feelings that i covered up with lard coming to surfice, but thats what it's all about.

    Have no fear. <3 If you take your time, tone up...you won't be saggy. ;)

    My fear is I won't have enough money to buy a new wardrobe. :P

    I really want to lose weight to "look how I feel" - If I try to lose weight, but I can't/don't does that make me an ugly person?

    Like a lot, it's the saggy skin and having lost too much muscle and being skinny fat. But most of all I am scared of losing all this weight and still not feeling like I am beautiful or that it is enough. It's a 100% mental concern. I need to work more on being confident with who I am more so than my body.

    I have zero fear, and if anybody here does, do whatever you need to do to conquer that fear.
    You should associate nothing negative to your weight loss.
