Okay okay im sure im gonna get some flack from this post. But I really am  losing my mind, and I dont know what to do.

How am I losing weight, and instead of gaining more confidence im losing it. I've never, not NEVER felt this insecure, even at my biggest (i was about 420) but now....Im soo insecure that i'm getting on everyone's nerves. Im taking it out on my boyfriend so badly, that its causing a riff between us, Im accusing him of looking at other fat chicks (what type of shiot is that?) Im used to being this, flirty, outgoing, sexy lil vixen, and now, im scared to touch him, i think i look a  mess, i keep thinking he gonna leave me for some chick bigger than me.

NO, i dont need validation from a man (for those that may be thinking that) I've always thought i was attractive, until now...i dont know whats wrong with me. Im thinking maybe i should see a shrink, cause its getting out of hand.

What yall think??

The Lady is out.......

Preggers and STILL killin em in these streets baby!!!

Just my opinion, but there is no harm in seeing a shrink. In fact this is one of the things I will miss most since losing my healthcare. Hope everything works out for you.

You are not losing your mind.  You are going through an adjustment period.  It's crazy, I tell you! 

Getting a shrink is not a bad idea.

Good Morning Ladysunshine first off((LSS)) what things are you insecure about? What is it that your hating about you ?can you change them? work on them. Was your bf a looker before you had surgery because if so he is going to look after wards (**** I point out pretty women and my husband is like your stupid).

But as far as insecure goes I feel you. I hate the fact that I was 307lb and often feel embarrassed when people say how much did you lose never say 130lb almost NEVER, but I hate my arms girlthey are nasty,(plastice surgery fund being collected and saved as we speak) BUT I love my collar bone/shoulder blades  I love the fact that I can cross my legs I love the fact that my i look beautiful in my under garments. You have to find the positives in you. But it's a mind struggle for sure...your still a sexy little vixen

The first thing I tell ANYONE who asks me about my WL journey is that this is one heck of a mind
F%$@&K!!!!  Seriously, the mind is always the last to catch up..so to speak...with us on this journey.  People don't realize how serious mind games are.  That initial psych eval we get doesn't even begin to help with what we go through.
I have to go with Amanda.....there is NOTHING wrong with seeking help.  Not saying you act like you need it cause what you are going through is NORMAL. 
My best to you on this journey!

I went through the same thing.  It is an adjustment.  Take time to learn your new body along with your likes and dislikes.  And most of all, BE PATIENT, with  yourself.  If you need to talk, hit me on the backline.

I don't think your are losing your mind.  These changes occur so fast and it's hard to catch up.  I have my moments too where I look in the mirror and think I look a hot damn mess.  I feel very insecure and when people come up to me telling me how great I look, I get mad.  Before no one spoke to me and I didn't feel like I was in the spot light.  Now I feel that and it's hard to adjust. 
I can't speak on the man thing because I'm single and in a way it's a blessing and a curse. 

It never hurts to speak with someone who can help you deal with all these new emotions.

OMG!!   I thought I was the only one feeling this way!!  I am losing weight and Everyone can see it But I am trying my best to cover it up!!!  I was very happy being a sexy plus-size diva so I'm having a lil trouble adjusting to  my smaller frame. And trust me your not the only one bugging your boyfriend about leaving you for a bigger girl (which sounds sooooooooo crazy lol) I know I'm making him crazy!!  We will get used to this, your not losing your mind ( cause if you are I'm right behind u LOL) just learn to embrace the new new you, your still the same be "sexy lil vixen" you always were.
