What dont I feel more self confident now that Ive lost all this weight?

Im a little over 5 months postop and Ive lost about 1/2 of what I need to lose. After a 3 week plateau Im slowly starting to lose a little this week. This last plateau has brought out a big fear in me that I might not lose as much as I was counting on losing. I live in a state where thin is definately in, at least for women. It really scares me to think that I may only end up at 175 or even 200 lbs. Im in my late twenties and find it hard enough to find men. With excess weight I see it as next to impossible. Im both shy and self conscious and Im finding that I worry about this daily now. Will I ever find Mr. Right when Im having to compete with so many thin, younger women? Can anyone relate to this?
