fear of failure?
Any of you felt this way?
You get to a size that you haven't been in 15 years and you are scared?
I'm not scared of being too thin - it's just the fear of failure and bouncing back up to size 26.
I'm 90 pounds down after a year and have about 10-20 pounds left.
My life has been turned upside down - tons of energy, decaffeinated, de-alcoholed.
I volunteer at scouts and Church. For "fun" I hike and do video projects.
I'm loving yoga, spin and weight lifting.
Overall I am so grateful and happy to be where I am.
I also reached non weight related goals last year - I ran, did a "pike" on an exercise ball, did spin classes and got back into Yoga.
So, why am I finding it hard to believe that I fit into a size 12 pant?
My mind needs to catch up with my body.

It will -- it takes time to discover your new normal.
First your weight should bottom out and you will find place to land, this may include a few pounds up. You're likely not done yet.
After that, you will feel skinny -- but your brain doesn't connect.
I'd say it's about the third year when you realize - THIS IS ME. I own this.
