Life worse after 135-pound weight loss

Hmmm...This blogger says weight loss made her life worse. Dunno about that. Fix head first.

"Eventually, she was diagnosed with an eating disorder, according to the Post."

YA THINK?1?!?

I really hope that therapy and her diagnosis is helping her out.  It's always a sad thing when a person is that unhappy in their own life :(

I related to her, after I lost the weight I was so scared that I would gain it back and as the years go by I am getting better but as more of my weight loss surgery friends gained weight and I heard criticism I let it make me feel insecure and I had and still have at times feelings of increased pressure to keep the weight off. And though I tell others who are criticizing them how hard it is to keep the weight off and about our struggles it seems others are very intolerant after they know a person has WLS and gain the weight back. 

I suffered from binge eating or feeling that if I messed up in the morning I would just eat crap all day.  Her blogs about cravings and binge eating really helped me understand that you cannot satisfying a past or future craving is impossible, that cravings only exist now and to evaluate why are having them before you fall off the cliff. 

Thank you for posting! I am not depressed but I am going through something similar since Ive lost my weight - the fear of regaining is sooooo overwhelming sometimes. 

I share that fear. And it's deep-rooted. Too much yo-yoing. I don't understand the fear but it's very real. I'm still holding on to clothes that are now too big. 

But I don't think life will be worse after a 135-lb loss. In fact, I'm really really really looking forward to it.

I see what you mean. There is that pressure. People are watching to see how we're doing post-op.

I don't know what the answer is though. I want to say something like, "Just ignore them," but I know it's not that simple. 

We did this for ourselves. Maybe we'll have a seamless, glimmering success story. Or maybe we'll falter and fall flat on our face in front of everyone. But at least we're trying and we haven't given up. That's a hell of a thing -- that much I do know.
