[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm wondering if the reason I'm having trouble sticking to a weight loss plan is this: if I do lose weight, then people will comment on it and it will just reinforce the fact that I was (am) overweight which makes me feel uncomfortable. I went through a successful weight loss before I had kids and I remember when people commented about it it actually made me feel worse because it made me feel like I wasn't really attractive or worthy of praise until I lost the weight. The thought of getting to my goal weight makes me anxious, and I'm wondering if it's for this reason. Is this ridiculous?[/quote]

I feel the same way and would never comment on someone's weight loss unless they brought it up.  Try to find a way to deal with it so you can get where you want to be.[/quote]

I also never comment on someone's weight loss. I remember when I lost the weight I felt so good and promised myself I would never let myself get to that weight again because clearly people were thinking I was fat the whole time because of all the compliments I got when I lost the weight (20 pounds approximately). Here I am exactly at my "before" weight again (although I've been here a long time). So I know even if I get down to a lower weight I won't trust that I'll be able to stay at that weight and I'll end up going through the whole process all over again. It also doesn't help that my son told me the other night that I'm fatter than Daddy and have a big tummy. -OP[/quote]
