Talk some sense into me.

I am having a problem with being scared to lose weight. I know it sounds crazy - and deep inside, I know its irrational on many levels. But, I can't shake it. About 5 years ago, I lost 50 lbs. I felt great for a few months, but then I started losing my hair and having panic attacks. I was also quitting smoking around this time, which added to my anxiety, so in the end, I found myself wishing I would have just left my body alone. I lost the weight quickly, and it was a drastic change. Since then I have gained all my weight back and then some, and I now weigh 250 lbs. I want to lose weight again, but I have feelings of fear that it could end up making me sick. Also - I have two family members who lost massive amounts of weight (100+ lbs) and ended up sick after. One of them (gastric bypass) ended up with severe back problems that make her basically chairbound 95% of her life, and the other cousin lost it by walking and changing her diet, only to find that she had MS. Woke up one day for her 3 mile walk, couldn't walk it. MS that fast. SO anyways... I need someone to talk some sense into me. I am afraid to lose weight, I am afraid to feel better - I am afraid that it will just be a mirage, or that the weight loss will reveal an underlying problem. Looking forward to some words of wisdom, or encouragement.
