New to this web site. I've lost almost 40 lbs. on DTG, and have maintained being at a BMI of 25.1 for about 5 months. I am trying to take my success to the next healthy level and lost 7-10 lbs more. I've realized that I have a problem with fear of success. It strangely feels more comfortable being not at an optimum weight than doing all the exersizing and lack of occasional cheating that it would take to get to a lower BMI. Any advice on how to overcome a fear of success?

Sounds like you don't want to lose the motivation of trying to reach your goal because once you achieve it it won't be anything left to look forward to. Well... maybe try lowering your goal a little (mentally) and aim for that so your comfort zone isn't compromised so much, especially if you aim at something you can't achieve. Eventually you'll be comfortable maintaining... I'd assume at least.
