Irrational Fear Of Losing Too Much Weight

[CHELL 41]

Am I the only one who's having an irrational fear that I may lose too much weight. The surgeon has assured me that this won't happen but I can't help fearing that once I have the surgery and begin losing, I won't be able to stop. I know this is crazy but has anyone else ever felt like this?

Lol, yep. I've had dreams about losing so much weight that I just blow away. I know it won't happen, but the dreams are weird when I have them!

No, but I'd sure like to feel that sensation just once..."oh noooooo.....I'm toooo skinny!" From what I've read on this forum, there are plenty of ways to make your loss come to a grinding halt. Have no fear, my dear...

This is one fear I hadn't considered! This would be uncharted territory for me!

I've only actually seen one person on this entire website who has come forward and admitted she has lost too much weight. This was a really long time ago, and she said her BMI was in the 17's if I recall correctly. She also admitted that perhaps she now has some type of eating issues. I can't remember what exactly they were but, it wasn't what you would commonly see anywhere.

I am at goal and I do continue to lose about 3-5 Lbs per month. Then again, I'm not really trying very hard to stop losing. The only thing IMO I've really done was slow down my workouts from 2 plus hours per day to about 1 hour per day. I think based on my personality it will take me some time to get the hang of letting go of the weight loss mentality. I'll be ok though, I'm far from underweight.

I wish I had your trouble!
