I just had to write back to this. I think most peoples answers have been a physical fear, but it is an emotional fear. My weight was the thing that covered me, that kept me from being exposed to others. When people looked at me it was not my face or my brains it was my weight ( or so i thought )and i liked it that way. I know it may sound strange to others but my weight was my comfort blanket...the thing that I could focus on, the thing I could blame, the thing that was my excuse. I am now coming into this weight loss journey a strong confident women who can stand on her own against others without the "friend" ive had my whole life. I am ready to let go. I hope this helps you, just writing it has helped me.
