Psychology of weight loss...

I've decided to probe the psychological aspects of being overweight, and I would like to have input from whoever would like to comment. We all know the varying effects that being "fat" has on a person's emotional and mental state, however I would still like to hear about it from you all. I want to know what you like, love, hate, and just don't care about being fat. On the flip side, I would also like to hear your responses to the following thought: I am afraid to lose weight because......
Please really think about this one. I really want to know what thoughts stop you all from losing the weight. Forget about diet and exercise, I want to hear why you are afraid to be thin (or just thinner, because "thin" is subjective). The following blog will be my extremely personal answers to this blog. Thanks!

Fantastic idea, Melissa.

Here's my response.

I am afraid to lose weight because... I am worried that my new appearance will attract unwanted attention of which I am ill equipped to handle.

I completely understand that! I, too, am afraid of the attention that my weight has protected me from.
Awesome response! Thank you!

To be honest, the only thing that scares me about losing weight is the saggy skin. I know I cant afford surgery to have to removed I'm just praying that my work outs and young skin will snap back as much as possible! I want to be able to wear cute little clothes and not have to worry about ugly hanging skin!
