Fears
 

I saw a blog post about fears and she had everyone leave their biggest fear during their weightloss/healthy lifestyle journey... I just thought it would be an interesting thing to post and show that most of our fears are the same.

My biggest fear is getting to my goal weight and not liking my body... I'm expecting the worst though

Well, I'd say my biggest fear is eating too much healthy stuff and then not liking cheesecake anymore! Eek!

Just kidding, as that'll never happen. :) In all seriousness though, I'd have to say mine is the same as yours Haley... that'll I'll get to my goal weight and still not be happy with that... even after all of the success I may have had.

(P.S. I just started reading her blog a few weeks ago, I'm hooked!)

Mine is that I'll get to my goal weight, stick that for a few months, and then balloon back up. I'm worried this would happen after i graduate college, as I will not be working out 20 plus hours a week. Food will have to tighten alot. Its just scary.

My fear is seeing 200s again. I have failed at maintaining, and I always say I refuse to do so, but look at me now.

But I'm hoping my blog keeps me in check, and I'm hoping this new awareness for food and my love for running will help me move on. I want to hit 100 pounds lost, run a marathon, and get to a healthy BMI. I think weight will be a life-time struggle for me, which sucks, but it's just how it is.

My biggest fear is failure in hitting my goals.

I'm afraid of not reaching my goal wieght by my birthday. The big 1 8. I'm afraid. I don't want that to happen to me. I've been wanting to loss wieght for a long time. I'd feel like a failer if I didn't...

My fear is that I will lose weight and still not be fit! I still have no idea how far "normal" people can run, and I am worried i'll never catch up

I've lost before and gained it all back. I'm afraid it will happen again.

I'm also afraid of losing it all and gaining it right back, as well as losing it and looking horrible. I'm also afraid of losing the weight and still having the same health problems, or worse, brand new ones that aren't "fixed" by losing weight.

Oh man.... ALL OF THOSE!!!

Probably the biggest is not being able to get to goal.... then gaining all of it back.

One that hasn't been mentioned that I have is never getting over my body image distortion disorder... like I will ALWAYS see my body as 200 lbs even at 135-145.

that i won't reach and and that I won't be able to maintain my new weight. my mom loses weight often and she has no idea how to maintain her weight so im worried ill never get that right and always have to obsess over the scale.

Great thread idea…

My fears are that I will get to the point that unless I am working out 7 days a week and starving myself, I will gain it back. I’m terrified to get stuck in a lifestyle that I can’t (or won’t) maintain. And, like the rest of you, I’m scared I’ll never be satisfied with my body or be able to feel confident and comfortable…

My biggest fear is that I will make all the same mistakes again. I have lost weight before only to gain it back once my "diet is over". I MUST remember to keep healthy habits in the forefront of my mind FOREVER :hun:

Definitely that I'll never get there. Or, if I do, that I'll turn around and gain it all back.
