I think what is holding me back is as soon as I start to lose weight, I get some

attention from people and because I want to be " invisible " because I have low

self esteem, then I start to gain weight again. Not sure if that makes sense or

not. Not sure how to fix that way of thinking.

That's why I find online support groups easier, too....

Even here, it takes some practice. Which you'll get if you just keep posting.

:-)

Welcome back!

Hi again,

Wow! I know how you feel and every time I get lower in weight I get scared. I

get scared of what to wear or to buy? It takes so much time. Then I get noticed.

I like to be a wall flower but I want to be at my goal weight. Such an inner

conflict. I know I need to be at my goal weight so I do not ruin my health. On

the other hand - what do I do next once I am at goal? This is a fear.

After you reach goal, you can keep working on your " soul's gifts " .

Actually, you can probably do that while on the WAY to goal. Besides,

if you change your way of eating, when you reach goal you will just

continue doing the same thing to maintain.

I hear that. when i hit ideal weight i almost panic. I am trying to visualize

myself at ideal weight so perhaps I will be more comfortable with it when I get

there. Will let you know if it works.

Thank you, Eldred

I do have many gifts that I am working on. And yes I  am still changing the way

I am eating. I am going to start visualizing and eating at my ideal weight.

Being January 1, tomorrow, today is the perfect day to start.

Thank you again for your support.
