I didn't know where to put this, but I thought I would put it here anyway for those who could help. (copied and pasted from another thread I started)

I have 140-150 lbs to lose. it's a lot of weight and I have been obese my whole life. I started weight gain at age 5

I don't have any medical problems affecting it and only have GAD. I do emotionally eat. I have done really well losing over 60 lbs. I have a problem with emotional eating which makes me gain weight back. I haven't been gaining as much since I keep track of my weight every week But I have been worried about

1. Will I ever get to my healthy goal weight? It seems to be so much I give up constantly.

2. Will I gain the weight back?? That scares me and I want to give up. I recently gained 30 lbs beginning college (all in 5 months) and I already gave up a little.

3. Will i have lots of loose skin??? I saw many people on tv have surgery and lose it too fast and have lots of ugly skin. I don't want to be one of those people. i am 25, and plan on losing it slowly. (If I ever get it off, I'm having a hard time getting back to my beginning of college weight)

4. Will life be different after being thin?? Since I never was thin to begin with.

It's all very scary and makes me want to quit I don't want a lecture though. That will discourage me. i always hate talking about my weight because I don't want a lecture on why I should lose weight. I know why. I just don't want to be disappointed when i try.
