Is it normal to worry about gaining weight after losing it?

Last year I was 240 pounds and today I am now about 190. However ever since I lost the weight I always fear about gaining it back. I always look in the mirror and since I still have some body fat I go crazy because I feel like I'm fatter than I look. Is it normal to worry about these kinds of things after losing so much weight?

• Yes I feel the same, or did feel the same then I joined the gym and it toned me up so that could help.
• Yes. Just be healthy. Exercise and eat right and you'll be fine. Don't go crazy with calorie counting and never eating junk food
• Yes. but try not to. You worked hard did a lot so it's a fear response. Its a little like the circle of addiction for alcoholics/addicts (food included)One quits, starts worrying about relapse or trying to be "perfect". They stress up.And what do we do we we stress up ? Go back to the source of the addiction ( booze/food etc.)It's "self medicating" or seeking comfort through old ways, that caused the problem in the first place.Support groups are a good thing, like people with like problems, Weight watchers has a pretty good support group.Some self help books are good to, but nothing replaces human contact.Maybe, "The spirituality of imperfection" by Ernest Kurtz" would be a good start, what ever God draws you to.And WOW what an accomplishment ! Pretty impressive.;-) Be well

How to get rid of this stupid anxiety help?!?

I'm 14 (ill be 15 August 9th) but all this started (or I was diagnosed) when I was almost 10. It started out HORRIBLE. I couldn't eat any solid food except drinks, yogurt, and creamy stuff like that. So obviously I lost weight but after some other struggles like not being able to go anywhere (even outside) I got over it a little so I cud be in my house without having anxiety ALL the time eventually I got pretty much better and cud get over upcoming anxiety. This week I was doing so much and taking so many steps but then bam! I thought I cud go to church camp so the second day which was Tuesday, I broke down and had a bad attack I had to go home the next day and I'm home but I'm starting to have these attacks constantly just like bf! And nothings triggering it. I was going to my room to practice my guitar and when I picked it up I freaked out and couldn't breathe and had a bad attack. Just like others things similar. I was going to go to school this year for the first time since fourth grade (I started homeschooling the second semester of 5th grade) cuz my mom can't do it anymore and I'm going into 10th. I have to be able to do this but idk please help!! Any tips and tricks or whatever welcome! PS I have a therapist and am going next Wednesday (first time this one has seen me since I've been bad again of course)
