What are your fears at 6 mos out?
1. That I won't lose anymore weight.
2. That I am becoming a hypocondriac. I worry about the pain in my right side is my gallbladder, that the slightest tingle in my hands means malnurition issues, etc.
3. That I won't make it to goal.
4. That my insurance won't pay for a TT or panni removal.
5. That I can eat too much and I have stretched my pouch out (this has been a psychological battle since day one).

Ok guess I will be the different one here. A month ago I would have said ditto to everything that has been said. Now I am actually afraid of getting too small! Before I would have said I am not happy with my size but today I am actually ok with how I am currently. This all of course is brought on by the new boyfriend, who likes me like I am, in no way is he telling me dont loose any weight just so that is clear. I found myself checking the scale every morning and every night, obessing over my "skin flab" and fretting over every bite I ate. Since meeting him I feel "normal" again. I eat what I want (though in small quantities) I dont worry so much about my stomach, arm flab, leg flab etc. which is good but I am becomming boney in areas and its weird, it kind of freaks me out. Maybe because I have never felt my bones before, lol. Meeting Billy was good because I became less obessed but now I have that nagging fear if I become too thin he wont be attracted to me, life is not fair!

Cary,
How close are you to goal now? I keep being told by others that our bodies will continue to change for at least 6 months after we reach goal weight. Meaning, it kind of redistributes itself. Be patient. If Billy is a good guy, he will still be attracted! You are so much more than how much you weigh!
