I've just barely reached a "normal" BMI, but my feelings about it are mixed. Constantly being labeled as "obese" my whole life always made me feel like something was wrong with me. I guess I interpret it as you're not like the other kids. Gosh, I wish I can go back in time and talk to my younger self. I would have told her how perfect, beautiful, and normal she really was.
I think I deserve a cookie for finally being "normal". 🙄😜

You sure do! I also have a strange mix of feelings about my weight loss. One is regret: why didn’t I seek help earlier? (I’m losing finally with some professional/medical help). 20+years of obesity is too long. Another feeling is, perhaps paradoxically, fear. Am I successful now because there is an underlying condition I don’t know about that is secretly at play? I know it’s somewhat silly but that’s the truth. Typing this as I’m sitting in a waiting room for a routine mammogram, and another less routine diagnostic procedure coming up next week. Maybe it’s “just”hypochondria or my tendencies toward anxiety, the fear is there. I wonder if anyone else is feeling that.
