Well,I started JC 3 weeks ago now,and I had lost 4lbs,but I'm having some trouble..Part of me is so afraid to lose weight(maybe because I am afraid to give up some of my behavior?) that I end up binge-eating..I constantly sabotage my weight loss,as badly as I want it,because I am also afraid of it..Is anyone else like this?Any advice?I am really in need of some help.I will talk to my consultant tomorrow,but I am just so embarrassed.

Isn't it weird?! being on a weight loss program and also fearing losing weight.

In fact, I think that's totally normal! You soooo don't have to be embarrassed! First of all, the fact that you are aware of this is really a big deal. We all have put weight on FOR A REASON. For whatever reason, we have felt that the extra weight has served us in some way.

What may help now is to think about your personal reason for carrying the weight. How has the weight served you? Has is protected you somehow? Has it allowed you to be a kind of person that you feel comfortable with? Do you have an idea in your mind that being thinner equals not being safe? It's a first step, but I really think it's a necessary step to truely being healthy and happy.

We want weight loss to be just about what we eat, but digging up some of that hard stuff is SO very imprtant. You honestly seem to be on the right track!!! Keep going!

Aw,thanks *hugs*
This helps alot =)
I guess my main thing is,when I got down to 110lbs last year I was finally really myself:I was more social,happier,more talkative,outgoing,etc.I began to date someone,and after we broke up I found that I was afraid to be around people again.So in a way I guess gaining the weight may be just a good excuse to isolate myself as a form of protection.This has been a real problem though as I have struggled with bulimia for 5 years(minus about 8 months last year,when I got healthy and lost all that weight).
My mom and I are going to an OA(Overeaters Anonymous)meeting tomorrow though,and I am hoping that that along with the JC program will help me to get back on track and living healthy again.

Don't be scared.
Look at it this way.
Once all that weight is gone you will feel great and look great.
The healthier you are the longer life you'll have.
After looking at these great facts.
Don't be scared.
Be happy and get started!

I know when i was a teen and at 160 and lost to 135 I was scared of boys. I did not want their attention. Strange, most girls that age do what they can to attract them, lol. Maybe bad experiences?

i just started this week and i found it hard to not eat what all my friends were having. but i think its easier if u think about how much u want it. if u think about how it will be so great in the long run it helps a lot. i lost 30 lbs a few years ago. and got lazy this year and put it on. but it will be well worth sticking to it in the end, and u can do it.

i am finally at the last ten pound to lose and they just don't want to come off! it has taken me three years and i am finally getting results and i don't want to stress and gain weight. my brother is no help. he's skinny, late twenties and eating like a pig. i have to lock myself in my room to keep away form him when he's eating a burrito.

I know how you feel! Just 10 more pounds and I will finally be at my goal! But I feel like I've been stuck at this place for a few weeks now. My brother is absolutely no help either. He can eat whatever he wants and still look like a twig! I feel like just about everyone in my family can do that, but me. They want to be supportive but it is no help when they eat all they want. Especially chocolate chip pancakes! I'm not sure why but I have been craving them for the longest time. xD
