Hi,
I am 74 days Post and I am doing well. There is a psychological aspect to all of this. For me it is the weight loss so quick. I can't fit any of my clothes. Of course it is a good thing, but at the same time it is scary. I guess it is because I am used to looking a certain way. Old habits die hard, I guess.
How I go about getting over the issues, I P-R-A-Y and reach out just like you did. I talk to folks on my job. I exercise at the gym with the skinny folks.
Skinty_Goddess, thank you for posting.
Z-PHI!!!

"Always a winner but this time I am a looser"
I struggle with a profound fear of failure. I've struggled since a month or so out and been told repeatedly that my metabolic issues hindering my progress are beyond my control. I was down right despondent a few weeks ago, feeling helpless and drained of all confidence.
Last week I realized the bigger problem was that I'm not a sit on my ass and wait type of person. If the pros can't figure it out, I'll do it my damn self. I allowed my expectations to guide me so I was behaving out of character. I can't not be me. No wonder I was lookikg for a bridge to jump off in this backwards bridgeless town, lol. I got my ass in gear and I'm back in control now.
You will experience a major life change but you will still just be you. Stick with you, love you, trust you, be true to you. That is how you'll find your way through the minefield of mental drama we all eventually face.
