| Okay, I've pretty much lost all the weight I need to lose. Just a bit of toning and muscle building should get me to where I want to be. I should be happy, right? I'm not. It just goes to show how emotional eating is. Or isn't. That eating's not so much about FOOD at all. I had a mission with the task of losing weight, and seeing results kept me going. Now I feel something's missing. Not to worry, I'm not feeling antsy about wanting to pig out; I'm very disciplined, and I've adopted a new, life-long regime I'm determined to stick to. I am healthy and want to continue to be so. But I still feel a bit lost, along with all those pounds that have disappeared. Anyone else feel these postpartumish feelings?

I actually havent got there yet, but in the back of my mind I do worry that losing the weight will not be the life changing moment that I've dreamt up for myself.
I guess if the weight is gone, and you are still not satisfied, then losing the weight is not really what you were longing for, and maybe you just needed to lose the weight as a stepping stone to be able to do the thing that will actually make you happy.
For me, the real goal here is a relationship. Losing the weight should make me feel better about myself, but I know that I will have a much better chance of getting into a relationship when I'm not overweight. Partly becuase I'll look better, but mostly because I will have more confidence in myself.
I think you have to figure out what you really want. Maybe losing the weight will have just helped you get there.
