Are your concerns about gaining the weight back or getting pulled down rationalizations for your fear? If so, perhaps you might benefit from choosing some goals you are less afraid of to engender confidence?

Good luck.

I don't fear that I won't lose weight. I fear that I'll gain it back... in the sense that I know things change... but I like to do things in the "to get them permanently done"... The fact that I can gain weight again... appears as a downhill thing in my head. Just like the example of okay I'll be successful, and then I'll fall down, then what?
I feel like things done have a point in life. Like, do i want to be successful. Yes. But I'm afraid I wont' be successful...
I hope I'm not jibberizing and am making sense
sometimes its hard to put thoughts into words.
