Thank you you all are amazing.
Wow am I glad I came here... you all replied to me and totally hit the nail on the head for me!
Thank you all for caring so much....
To my other board a fellow soon to be WLS'er posted a question about being out farther..
I responded with the following...
Hi Amy... good question..
For myself I find this stage harder than losing... losing for me was easy. Trusting my pouch and training now is another story.
How do you hover between a five pound area... not get so afraid that your going to blow it and keep going up and up and up to your old weight, knowing full well your past.
The thing is you get little support from others because they think that since your at this magic weight its all fixed. I have gotten almost laughed at for fretting over two pounds.... that hurts me so much because to me its not like the skinny girl *****ing about being fat... its a true fear of mine that those two pounds will turn to twenty.
Its all a balancing act... and as I said it was easier losing. How much is too much in either direction.
" Your too thin.... "
The preasure that your a role model and dont want to let others down,
I guess I will dedicate another year to learning this now.
I strive daily to mentally not get overwhelmed ...
I still have the heart of a fat girl... I dont have it all figured out and am scared.
I have gotten great suppot on the Grads board and think thats the best place for me now.
Thank you for addressing this issue... I love you dearly for always seeing into the future and caring so much.

Great response!!! And how good of you to reach out and help someone else even though your feelings had been recently hurt. As someone here at the Grad's board once said to me "I will always have a 328lb woman sittting on my shoulder"~I think that's a great reminder to never forget where we came from.
