This may sound wierd....but...

Does anyone ever feel like they need someone to talk to that has actually been there? I am 13 months out and down 138. This past 2 weeks, I have gained 6 pounds, I have begun to step up my exercise and Crystal lite intake (I can't do plain water) But I am scared (actually terrified) about weight gain. I weighed 191 yesterday evening before I left work. I work in the medical field, so I can weigh myself at work, which I tend to be obsessive about (3-4 times a day) I weigh before I eat, after I eat, after I use the restroom and other times in between. I refuse to let myself get back over 200, plus, I still need to lose about 30 more pounds. Everyone at work tells me to "stop losing" & "with your height, you look fine" blah blah blah. I think my weight would be fine if I were 6'5 LOL. But I have noticed lately that I can eat quite a bit more than I used to. How much should I be eating this far out? I feel dumb for feeling the way I do, but I can't help it. I get irritated at people who only seem to have good intentions. Is there any type of Pen pal system, or someone to talk to who has actually been there that will not patronize me and sometimes just be there to listen and offer guidance? If anyone is interested, please let me know. This journey has been great, but lately this head hunger has been killing me. I do not regret the surgery at all, that is not my issue. Thanks in advance for any help. (I didn't mean to ramble LOL) *Traci*
