Does anyone get scared of losing too much?

Pam, you've done wonderful! You look great too! Thanks for the reply!

When I was at my lowest, 148 lbs @ October and November of last year - I THOUGHT that's where I wanted to be. I THOUGHT I looked good because I felt good. When I came across some pictures of me from then I was absolutely flabergasted at how "Nicole Richie" I looked to myself. I realize now that's not where I wanted to be. And it was weird because I remember thinking off and on around that time that maybe I could loose just a little bit more. Wow, I was so wrong. Before finding out I was pregnant I kinda liked how I looked around 155 - 160 lbs so that's what I'm shooting for now that I've had Quinntin. I go in the 18th of this month for a band fill and honestly, I'm just gonna ask for a little one. Just enough to cut the craving of constantly being hungry but not enough that I can't enjoy eating. This is a good question though. Thanks for posting it.

Great question Linda.  For me, it was my goal to get healthy, and be able to enjoy life again. I have gotton lower than my Drs. goal of 155 by 14 #, and then back up to 155#~~ my body fluctuates between 5-7 lbs. from week to week. I've been at my goal for 10 months now. I'd hoped to get to 145, but I am happy to be where I am now, in 14-16's & med. to lg. tops. I know alot of my leftover wt. comes from the excess skin I carry, and not being able to exercise to the extreme( I have had 3 MAJOR back surgeries, degenerative spinal arthritis, and fibromyalga, but DO walk and do what I can) nor have PS. Thats ok, I am grateful to be alive, not walking with a cane, morbidly obese and off 14 med now- woo~hoo!!!  I have seen people go to the extreme and either get too thin & ill or have other problems with their health& relationships- physically, emotionally, and personally.That scares me more than anything~ & it's a place I definately don't want to go!!!  Yep, our "fat brain" can try to trick us up- to the point of fear those "what if's???" not of only getting ot thin but of gaining it all back~~so keep fighting it and going in the direction of you dreams!! (((hugs))) Ellen

I am already getting nervous about this.  I have lost 84 pounds with my presurgery weight loss.   47 of that is since surgery.  I am only 13 weeks out and only have 30 pounds to go to my goal weight.  They tell you that you can really lose 12-18 months after surgery. If I keep losing that long there will be nothing left of me.  It has been coming off so quick it makes me nervous because I don't want to look to skinny.
