Slow down this success

[rosehips 121]

I was sleeved 8/27 & am down 100 plus a few, I started out at 290. I am having this odd reaction to this weight loss. When I started getting close to 200, I wanted it to slow down, I got like scared but I don't consciously feel scared, I am happy, thrilled, loving life. OK, so the scale goes to 195, all is good, goes to 190, all is good, now it is falling below 190, I am at 25 lbs to goal and my head is screaming, wait, not so fast, help, I'm not ready. Ready for what? I don't know? Is anyone else experiencing any of these CRAZY FEELINGS?

P.s. most the time I love the scale going down, this comes and goes

I understand it! I'm now 3 lbs from goal and I don't know what to do because it's been years since I was at a normal body weight and wasn't dieting. I think there is also the fear of regaining the weight. Its very scary.

Yeah, and I'm really glad it's not just me, so thanks for posting this. For some reason, I am afraid of being a "thin person". I have been overweight so long and for some reason I am still psychologically holding on to my old identity. I even go so far as to sabotage myself sometimes, but fortunately I pull myself out of it before I do much harm.
