Im afaid ill gain the weight back. Has anyone else had this fear? Ive hit my goal weight, now im worried.ain the weight bac . Things

For some reason, I'm having problems with posting. Can't see what I'm typing.

As I was saying, things are going good. BUT I have this dreadful fear. Nightmares even.

Yup. And my worry keeps me on track.

I weigh myself every day. I weigh, measure and track my food many days (randomly, not all). I get in at least 15k steps most days along with a workout.

I stay cognizant of what I am doing and I don't lose sight of my goal -- staying at a healthy weight and keeping my body moving.

My fear keeps me honest and doing the right thing.

Yes. I have that same fear and it's because it's a real possibility. I will do everything in my power not to let that happen, but I am most certainly not cured of obesity. The longer I'm out from surgery the more aware of this I become. I used to think I finally found the secret and I had it under control for good. I've since learned that it's more me than the sleeve doing the work, and frankly, I'm not to be trusted! ????

I'm having problems exercising. I just had a total knee replacement. No exercise in a month. I just reached my goal weight.

My fear has me to the point that I don't want to eat. Or if I eat, it's a couple of bites.

Can you swim? That's m absolute go to when I have injuries. I am a martial arts instructor. I often have injuries.

I have this fear daily!!!! This is why I have yet to cheat. Not even one little bite of something bad. I'm terrified of gaining it back. Also, I'm 6 lbs from goal and it's driving me insane to get there!

I can kind of swim. Wouldn't win any medals. There are no inside pools around here. And doctor says if I tan scar will be more noticeable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this fear. Not that I wish this fear on anyone.

SWIM girl!! It feels so good. Forget the scars and marks ... your body will feel so good with each pound lost. Good for your joints, too. Swim!!

Well, PT did say swimming would be good for my leg. I could just lather on water proof sunblock. I'll have to see how much it cost.

So use sunscreen. Seriously, swimming/water exercise is great exercise for most everyone.

I don't know why I'm so afraid. I'm now 122. I'm 3 pounds under goal weight. I think it has to do with PT. I watch what I eat, but I do cheat occasionally. Sprite soda has been my downfall. High calories, no nutritional value.

Swimming would give me a reason to wear my new swimsuit too. :-)
