Thanks Biscuits for starting this thread and sharing your thoughts.....you too, BigSis. I see a bit of myself in both of your posts. I, too, have some fear about losing weight and can't understand it. Why..... why would I fear losing weight and looking good and being healthy. I want to be healthy. I like it when someone sayd I look good. But why would I fear it also. I do love the attention from guys, but also fear that too. I mean... it's like I sabatage my own progress when I start is really look good and get the "second glace" from some men and the good remarks about starting to really look nice. I like hearing someone tell me I am pretty, but on the same note, it's like I don't trust it either...or believe them. I have some real hang ups when it come to this stuff.... appearance.

Right now I try to focus on the health asspect of losing weight and it seems to help me get through this. But I need to work on the mental issues with losing the weight in order for me to keep it off once I get there.

thanks for sharing all.
