200kg woman in a 100kg body

[halfofme]

Hi,
I have recently lost 100kgs and am wondering if anyone else has gone through the head problems I have been having. I don't seem to be coping with being thinner and the attention and am wanting to hide again.

Welcome to the forum!
I guess that would depend on why you gained weight in the first place, sounds like there may have been some psychological stuff behind that, or at least there came to be some protection that being bigger offered you. If you're struggling to cope with it, go chat with someone about it, there'd be plenty of psychologists/counselors that would specialise in weight loss issues, or whatever issues may be underlying it for you.

It sounds very similar to the situation where people have cosmetic surgery believing that it will fix their self esteem issues, but after the surgery find that those feelings of inadequacy are still present. As Butterfly_Dawn said, a psychologist/counsellor might be the best bet.

hi!!!

ok, so I have only lost half of that, but still have much more to go, but already I am struggling with the head issues. I will eat a packet of timtams just to subconciously sabotage my weightloss effots.
I hate the comments in real life, and stumble for words to reply. why cant i just say, oh thankyou, but instead I gloss over it, change subject or deny any loss.
I am scared of the new body I will get.
I have always hidden behind my fatnes, and as much as a crave to be a skinnier person, I am also scared white to be going there.

major head wars for me.
