I'm thin now; so what?

I'm in my forties and had the surgery a year ago. All the fat came off, and I thought I'd be thrilled. I'm not. Nor am I more outgoing or willing to try new things. Instead, I fight the thought, "Fat or thin, I'm old." When I saw the recent CBS report about the 21-year-old who backed out of revision surgery at 310 pounds, I wanted to yell at the television screen, "Get the rest of that fat off now, or you'll have regrets like mine in twenty years." Has anyone else had such feelings?
