Fear Factor
By Tula Karras
While most people are eager—even desperate—to lose weight, some overweight dieters are actually uncomfortable with morphing into a thinner version of themselves, either because they fear the process of losing weight or the result itself. "There are a number of conscious and subconscious reasons why a person who is overweight finds security in extra pounds or unhealthy lifestyle habits," says Lisa Sasson, M.S., an associate professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University in New York City. If you think you might be a little too comfortable at an unhealthy weight, or are actually fearful of succeeding on a diet, read through these common obstacles that can keep you from even beginning the journey.

From the Community
"I don't have a problem with losing weight. My problem is I always go back to my unhealthy ways and gain back what I lost—plus more. I'm hoping by connecting with some people here I can get the support to maintain what I have lost. So now for the bragging part—I've lost 27 pounds! All of my pants are sagging. I love the Best Life program! My husband and kids love all the dishes that I've been preparing. My husband has even lost some weight."
