Unhappy with goal weight, what to do?

Anyone ever met goal and found they weren't happy? My goal weight was 150 lbs. I'm 5'4" and that was a size 10/12.

I got to 125lbs and was a size 2/4....that lasted a few days. I went in for a total unfill due to plastic surgery and possibility of vomiting from the anesthesia or procedure.

Yep, I did heave ho a few times coming out of anesthesia and have gained 13 pounds.

I'm at 138lbs or so, it fluctuates 136-140. I can no longer wear my size 2/4s....I'm in a 6/8 now.

I know I should be greatful to be this weight as I was 140 when I started having children so I am lighter now.

Anyone have to adjust mentally to their goal weight?

Why should you be "grateful" for anything? That's an odd attitude to me, like you dont feel you deserve to be a certain weight. Although perhaps its just the way you said it.

But you dont need to settle for any weight. If you've had PS and gained a bit from being unfilled, well, you'll heal, get filled again, get back to exercise and you can lose it again.

I surpassed my goal weight by a lot, but then, I only set it with some vague thought about being realistic. I'd been that weigth for long periods of adulthood and was never happy with my size. It wasnt obese, but it was chunky as it was right at the top of my healthy weight range. I kind of always knew it was a temporary goal and that I wouldnt stop there.

I've definitely had to work to "accept" my current weight. I'm not 100% happy with my body, its become obvious that some figure flaws will never be fixed short of major PS which I dont want to do, so I have to live them. I cant keep losing forever and in fact have almost gone too far in terms of how my face and upper body looks. I think it was Courtenay Cox who said you have to choose between your face and your ass and in my experience she was right, lol.
