Fear of reaching goal or milestone

The main reason I can to PT was to find a forum to discuss my fear of reaching my weight loss goal. As I near 200 pounds (not the goal but a milestone), I find myself freaking out. This started a couple weeks ago as I started to waver around 210. This morning the scale read 208. I have not been under 200 pounds as an adult (I am 45). (FYI: I weighed 344. my goal is 170-180. I am 5'11")

I am beginning to see in the mirror, the person I was as a child. (That is a good thing.) The tough thing is that that child was abused and molested. I can rememebr telling myself that this crap won't happen to me when I am big. So I got BIG and stayed BIG for a long time.

As I become unBig, those fears are returning....irrational, yes. But I am concerned that those fears will sabotage my progress....I have plataeued again around 210.

Has this happened to you? How do you deal with it?
