Freaking out today for some reason...

As the others have said these thoughts and fears are on most of our minds. I'm 18 months out and I just got back from a vacation, where I unfortunately had a couple of over-eating issues. You would think that I would have learned the 1st time...but nope I did it twice. Suffered for hours. I'm back home now and back on track, thankfully it was just painful and didn't promote any weight gain. For me it's all about portion control and boy does my pouch let me know when I'm overdoing it.

I hope that you find a way to soothe your aniexty. I know it can be debilitating if it gets out of control. Practice positive self-talk; you've come a long way and if you continue to keep a eye on the scale and stick to the program, ask for support (just like you did today) when you need it and I'm sure that you will continue to experience success.

Just know that you are not alone.  All the best,  Muriel

As someone who had surgery the day after you... I too worry about this... and I find that I generally worry about this type of thing more when my hormones are all out-of-whack... or atleast that is when I start to indulge these type of fears...

I don't have enough perspective like the Vets to say how to handle it... but I felt I HAD to tell you that you are not alone... seems to me, it's part of the journey...it's how we handle the stress and the fears as we move forward that counts.

I have thought about this a lot today. For years we were a skinny person in a fat body. Now that the skinny person  is out she seems insecure. I have not hit my goal yet but already see the whole worry over what I eat. Will I still lose. Do I need to exercise more. Have I eaten too much.
We have spent years worrying about our weight. I guess it will not go away in the relatively short time it took us to lose the weight.
you look great. You have great friends supporting you. Try to relax and enjoy where you are today and not worry so much about the future. By the way that is easier said than done

 Funny, I never would have described myself as a skinny person inside a fat body. I was a fat person in a fat body, and I'm now a fat person ishide a skinner (but not skinny) body.

your fears are justified.

don't forget the rules. Stay vigilant.

that being said, you don't need to freak out. Just try to do what you know is right, 95% of the time.
