Keeping weight off is a big deal and can require a level of honesty that may not have been explored before. Here are some fears that people like myself have expressed. You may want to go through the following list and see which ones you relate to:
-I'll never be able to maintain a thin body.
-I'm afraid of my sexual feelings.
-How will I be able to cope with all the attention I'll get from people? I'm used to hiding.
-I've don't usually put myself first. I will create waves with my family and friends if I do.
-Will some of my relationships end?
-I don't want to face my true feelings -- how will I be able to cope with them?
-I'm frightened about getting close to people.
You probably have some of these concerns. Working these things through takes time and help from others. By reaching out to professionals, support groups and friends, you can tackle them one by one. And if you do, what you'll get in return is self-respect, which can taste very sweet.
